Could be some air trapped in the system.
I don't think the motors have a general overheating problem, infact its the opposite

Could be a faulty thermostat or a faulty temperature sensor. As stated they do not tend to over heat stock.

Did you have to add any make up after correcting the hose leak? Even air will get pushed out eventually.
