Stop driving your car now!! Your head gasket is about to go. If you get antifreeze in your oil, which may have occurred already, you are likely to ruin your motor and require a complete rebuild. I don't know what it costs for an eclipse but my ford was sure expensive.

It defunately needs a new head gasket. You are probably getting some antifreeze in your oil, too. Get that head gasket replaced right away before you start damaging other parts of the engine. The head gasket and labor charge will be hundreds of dollars, but thats better than thoudsands of dollars for a whole new motor.
