Blown coolant seal?

i have had my car as it is for two years now and it has caused me no problems but my car would always push water out through the overflow tank. no overheating no smoke just would push water out when it got warmed up.

i finally decided to try and diagnose it yesterday and was getting lots of bubbles through the filler neck and then when warm pushed water out..... still bubbles. then did a block test and it read that i have engine gasses in my cooling system. my only guess is a coolant seal..... right?

but i get zero coolant in my oil and no coolant into the combustion chamber so..... just leaking air out of engine but not coolant into? could it be some other problem? i have DD'd this car for 2 years on this same problem and has not really gotten any worse. so any way for me to keep it from worsening? just to keep it running well enough until i get money to swap it. since it is not overheating i can deal with the coolant loss but any product i can use to make sure it does not start leaking the other direction?

nope, some people use block seal but it is doubtful it will work at all with your type of failure.
