My coolant lamp is lit and the car is running very hot. I checked the fluid level and it is fine. There are two large hoses going to the radiator. One is hot the other is cold. Also there is a junction to the left of the radiator where three hoses come together. Two smaller ones (both hot) and the larger one going to the radiator (the cold one). Any advice?
