Uncomfortable, can't hold my hand there for longer then 15 seconds before it starts to sting from the heat.

Also, @Old_Mechanic, my upper rad hose I can't even touch without getting instantly burned. I had my dad who has tough hands touch it and he could only touch it for about 1/2-1 second before he had to take his hand off. I also just replaced the radiator cap and obviously, it did nothing. Fluid levels were fine as well before I drove it so no bubbles I don't think. I'm even more lost now...
