Please Help.

Have A 1999 Cadillac Deville.
Just Had A Brand New Radiator Put In About 2 Weeks Ago, Do To A Crack In Radiator On Passenger It Was Leaking Antifreeze Badly, It Ran Good Up Until Yesterday 11-23-2014; The Car Started To Over Heat, Iii Turned On The Heat That Didn't Work At All; Iii Pulled Over Turned The Car Off, That's When The Antifreeze Began To Gush Out, But This Time On The Driver Side In Front Of The Tire.
The Popped The Hood To Put More Antifreeze Inside The Car, After That Iii Then Started The Car, When Iii Do That Iii Noticed Antifreeze Spraying From Out The Lower Radiator Hose.

Questions-
• Can This Cause Over Heating?
• What Else Can Cause Car To Over Heat On That Side?
• How Would You Know If Your Thermostat Is Bad?
• How Would You Know If Your Water Pump Is Bad?

If you are losing coolant from the radiator hose, that is the problem. Repair that first and see if the problem still continues. My guess is that it won't. However, if it does, let me know and then we'll discuss the thermostat.
