I just got a Canterbury Green 1993 Acura Legend L with 192,000 miles on it. A week ago, I noticed that there was smoke coming out of the engine. Opening the hood, I find antifreezing flooding all over the place! It looked like there was a small hole coming from one of the hoses connecting the radiator to the engine.
My dad and I cut that hose and re-fit it, but a day later antifreeze starts to leak again. There was a hole coming from one of the hoses on the bottom of the car, so we replace that too. The next day, a leak happens from somewhere else!
This was all happening after we replaced the OEM radiator for some other one (probably cheap; I guess that may have not been a good idea). Was this all because of the radiator swap? Sorry for the long post, but I am really new at this.
Thanks!

You have an old car which will require constant maintenance simply because it is old and parts are reaching or have reached the end of their service life. This is the trade-off between old vs new. You need to replace all of the coolant hoses ASAP. You don't need another hose break miles from home in the dead of night.
