Eclipse GS 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 102,000 miles

I have replaced every part of coolant system, I think. I bypassed the heater core, radiator x 2, 3 radiator caps, hoses, water pump, 3 thermostats, bought three jugs of antifreeze, and still I am leaking water out bottom of radiator where hose goes on. I am low income had a good friend who was a mechanic do all this, and I'm just wondering what we are missing here.

Why does it continue to lose water, and blow a radiator?? There's no water in oil or exhaust, it hasn't overheated the gauge in car works and I've never let it rise above 3/4. What are we missing?
