Check the coolant level first.Bad cap?.Leaking radiator?.Wash the engine down with water(don't hit the dizzy).Start it up and see if you can pin point the leak.Don't let it over heat.Just replace all the wires.

Also check for cracked and leaky hoses and for loose hose clamps all over the engine compartment. Do not add cold water to an overheated engine, so you wont crack something.

The cracked wire could have just been because its old. I would check all the radiator hoses and then change the thermostat, and drive the car as little as possible until its fixed.
