Default Over Heathing SC400

Well i was driving home last night when my car begun to overheat. When i pulled over and checked to see where i was leaking from i saw some fluid coming out of some u shaped houses towards the very back of the motor and what i believe is to be the heater core also. I also noticed that the lower radiator hose was still very cold. I heard the lower hose stays cold due 2 a bad thermostat but i just replaced it about a week ago. Does anyone have any suggestions on what this could be?

Make sure your hydraulic fan is working. I would replace the thermostat and see. The next step would be water pump or radiator.
