Hi i have a 2001 eclipse and I recently took the car to the dealer shop to replace the radiator, water pump because it had a leak. So now the car kinda shakes a lot than normal ( stering wheel) and after 5 minutes when im driving the car a smell of smoke or hot temperature water will come inside the hood. Im thinking theres an engine problem my guess. so if anybody knows that the problem i will appreciate your help thanks.

What do you mean when you say "hot temp water comes inside the hood"? If you took it to the dealer for them to fix it, and now something else is weird, take it back and tell them they fucked up and need to fix it right.

I think what he means is hes getting a burning smell from under his hood or "hot temp. water" smell in his case?
Whatever the case maybe, you need to take it back to the place that done the work and let them find the problem and fix it. Also dont let them charge you more money because it sounds like its something they fucked up.

well, it for sure sounds like they fucked something up, because if they replaced/fixed the radiator, and now it smells like hot liquid...they obviously didnt do something right. And yeah, dont let them tell you something else needs to be fixed because they should have found that when they fixed the first problem.
