i live in philadelphia and also happen to own a 95 9000cs 2.3litre turbo(i'm assuming you have the same car). i can't give you references for a local mechanic, because i do all of my own work. however, if you are constantly topping up your coolant and can find no obvious signs of leakage from other sources(including the heater core) then i would suspect that a leaking head gasket is the culprit. you didn't mention whether the car is currently driveable, but, if the car suffers from zero compression on any or all cylinders and has overheated at some point in the recent past, then you may also be suffering from a warped head. in either case, diagnosis will require removal of the cylinder head. i wish i could be more helpful. anyway, welcome to philadelphia.
