Before it started to over heat had you drained and refilled it?

If so you might have had a air bubble that made its way to the pump. Happens all the time to people getting there bike ready for a trackday. When you refill it make sure you sqeeze the hoses a lot like your milking a cow it will move the air bubbles to the top.

Did you see fluid leaking from somewhere? Can you draw an arrow pointing to where in the picture? The kink I'm seeing in the picture is a factory bend and would not impede water flow.

Also, what are your symptoms of overheating? Is it just smell? What temp does your bike indicate? Is the fan running then?
