Default Would fan cause my crx to over heat?

Welps. My temperature gauge is dead and somehow when i drive my car for a long time it seems to over heat. Well today i took it to the smog shop and when he drove it up to the ramps the car starting leaking water everywhere. I then opened the hood(stupid me) and looked and water was coming out from the heater hose and got tore opened. I then let it cool down and added water and drove home. I went to autozone and picked up a new hose installed it, drove it out again for atleast 25 minutes and when i popped the hood opened it smelt like something was burning and while i let my car run for another 10 minutes i notice that the fan dont turn on. I just bought this car so i dont know anything about it. I also notice radiator water was boiling from the radiator cap. And i need help

First thing is to fix your temp gauge (sensor/wire/cluster)
Fan may cause from bad temp gauge (Switch/wire/relay/fan motor)

Your radiator cap must be F'd if there's water coming out of it. Or did you mean the radiator overflow bottle?

Fix the gauge, fix the fan. Or even just hardwire the fan would be better than no fan. You need to fix that gauge though.
