However, once my car has been warmed up , both the radiator manage to turn on now... the back of the car start leaking some coolant on to the floor... And im so suspicious... coz i have replaced the radiator.... and its only the front part that got hit.... why is there leakage at the back..

Could anyone please advice? Is there a hole somewhere near the engine bay to leak coolant out if there is an overflow or over pressure of air? Its making me very headache!! Thank you in advance if anyone could help !!!

You still have air in the system and it is causing the system to create hot spots and overflow.
