Default Would this cause an overheating problem?

Instead of having heater hoses routed to heater core or capping off the inlets and outlets at the water pump and intake manifold, Bubba has run a hose from the outlet on the intake manifold to the inlet on the water pump. Or is that the inlet on the intake manifold to the outlet on th water pump? N-E-Way, could this configuration cause a slight overheating problem in traffic? It looks as if some of the coolant will just make a loop without ever seeing the radiator.

You think I ought to leave it alone until the heater core replacement and then replace the hoses? I thought coolant might have been sneaking around the radiator with this setup and my bb runnin a tad hotter than it should.....
