1992 EAGLE TALON

I own a 92 eagle talon tsi awd with a turbocharger. It has approximately 150,000 miles on it. The head gasket was " supposabley replaced" about 5,000 miles ago when I bought it. I leak oil like it is going out of fasion and I blow coolant lines left and right. Someone told me that I should try using brake line for my coolant lines instead of braided heater hose because it can withstand more pressue. Now is this even plausible to beleive or is this person filled with b.S? I have replaced every single coolant line under the hood atleast twice and I know im doin it right. I mean its about one of the easiest things to do on a vehicle. Any suggestions please im begging of your support. Thank you for you time, input and paitience!

Are you using concentrate anti-freeze with no water?
My 92 talon was going through coolant like crazy when I was using a water/coolant mixture, now I'm using concentrate anti-freeze, and a low-temp thermastat (180 degree) with no water and mine has been better since, water expands more than coolant. Good luck and I hope this helps.
