I just got threw with the same problem. There is a heater bypass plastic elbow there. It must be replaced the problem is its a lot of work we had to remove intake manifold. Hope this helps.
Actually it is easy just remove belt from alternator take off alternator 3 bolts, then take off the two hoses they are located under the alternator then take that part off 2 bolts
if plastic elbow are cracked $3 part replace there are 2 elbows get the red sealer and lubercate around elbows both ends and replace. the top elbow put it in the motor first then bottom elbow put it in the other piece, before you shove it into the other elbow place the bottom elbow in position that's it

Why would a 92 Eclipse push water back through the thermostat housing and overheat?
The thermostat is most likely stuck in the closed position and needs to be replaced. The closed thermostat does not allow the coolant to circulate through the radiator, thus overheating the engine. The reason for water being pushed through the thermostat housing is because the water pump is spinning and there is no place for the coolant to go, therefore, it is leaking out through the housing gasket which is probably already blown (need to replace it when you replace the thermostat.
