Put some Prestone antifreeze with it.

Re: radiator
seems like there is a crack or some hole, or it might be just an installation error you made and the pipe is loose somewhere and lets hot fluid out. water should be fine for the rad, but a bit of antifreeze wouldnt hurt.

Re: radiator
You must use antifreeze with water, otherwise the water will just boil from the heat of the motor. Antifreeze works for both extreams, Hot and Cold.
