1 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/22/2020

My 2012 Ford Focus continuously overheats. I've seen that the coolant reservoir regularly needs to be refilled. (now up to 4 times a week). I've had the car looked at numerous times and no one can figure out what is going on. I've replaced the water pump,thermostat,and there seems to ne no leaks anywhere. I'm at my wits end. This is a vehicle that me and my family use regularly when possible. It. This past week,(12/22/2020), the car overheated and steam spewed from under the hood while we were all in the vehicle. This happened while driving home on 125th st in nyc. While we stopped to get pizza,I noticed steam billowing from under the hood. Check it out and saw antifreeze spewing out from the firewall and leaking onto the ground.
