There is no coolant going to the front hoses to the radiator to the engine fix heater core brand new still no coolant at all going to the front. Also, found out that I have coolant shooting out of my engine block where the water pump is located at below where the thermostat is. Not coming from home but looks like coming out of that area what could be the problem. Any suggestions on how to fix it so my car can stop overheating rapidly? Thank you.

You have to fix the leak first have the coolant system pressure checked. It can be a head gasket anything.

Thank you head gasket are good. I am going to start with water pump that is the area it is coming out of. This all started when the heater core went out. Thank you and if you have more advice I am willing to listen to you. Thank you and Merry Christmas!
