I did a pressure test on radiator and found small u shaped hose had leak,replaced with a hose that was crimped (kinked) did another test and held pressure, then did a radiator flush and now i have water pouring out from somewhere under car could the hose i replaced have blown something out because of flow restriction. the car is 85 vett vin 8 with over one hundred thousand miles car ran beautifully until i did this could the flush and the crimped hose have blown a freeze plug? or is there some hose on the motor im not seeing that blew.Water just pours out from somewhere under middle or rear of motor when filling radiator. Did I kill my car?
