    I hate to ask a question when your looking for an answer, but I have to ask, did you call the mechanic who did the work? He's obviously done a few things wrong, and I'd give him a call to allow him to correct his mistakes first.

There is 2 bleeders one can be accessed by the front of vehicle, the other if you lift the driver seat, if you do any coolant related job you have to open this bleeders during refill.

I don't understand why the timing belt was replaced for a heater problem. Is the car running rough or missing badly? Have you actually checked the oil or just relying on the oil level light. Check the oil and look for signs of water in the oil. If the oil doesn't show signs of water, refill the radiator with antifreeze and bring the oil level up to the full mark. Run the engine until it gets hot. Turn the engine off and let it cool enough so that you can remove the radiator cap. If the radiator is empty again, there must be leak somewhere. If you can't find a leak then it may be going inside the engine. If that is the case then the engine should be running very rough. Let me know what you find.

Mitsubishi l200 2.5 DiD 2007 74000 miles, bubbling in header tank, over heating and pushing water back to the header tank, heater is still blowing hot air!! So dont think its the thermostat, am I more...

There are other things to test before we have the engine spread all over the yard. Cooling fan operation. Yes the thermostat hot air in heater just means hot water. start with a cold engine then start and run at a high idle if heats quickly upper radiator hose hot lower cold good but reverse no flow. remove and test thermostat (not replace) put on stove boil water and watch it open once center piece is moving check with thermometer it should agree with stamp number on thermostat. if good check for slipping fan belt. check for air restrictions on radiator and water flow.

Coolant leak from upper radiator hose where it meets engine

thermistate housing is the place you refer to it fuction is to hold a thermastate to open and close water flow at 150 to 190 degree according to car spectif the thermaste sticks it causes overheating and can blow the thermastate gasget, the tole cost is about 30$ at most for the thermastate and gasget...now many other things can cause a car to over heat and cause a hose leak and somtimes it is simple to just tighten the hiose clamp at the thrmastate and problem sovled see a water leak causes the radiator to lose presure and thus with out a sealed tight water cooling system the boiling point of water is lower and thus the car over heats when in doubt stop by the local gas station and have a tech take a quick look as it could be simple as the hose clamp difficult as a therm,astate but do not let it go to warp a head gasket as this blown headgasket is what is the end results of running a car to hot
