This is my first post on this forum... wohoo
The water does not rust the radiator, the radiator is made of either aluminum or copper and neither of those two materials rust. They do corrode, but the water has no effect on that (right?).
The hoses will not dry and crack, cause there really isn't that much heat inside the hoses. Maybe 20-25 degrees C (70-80 degrees F).

also will the hoses get dry, and crack over time from heat exposure.
