yeah i will take pics for you and send them. -John

doesnt matter. i'm taking the damn thing off the road. leaks oil bad !

ok. took covers off and looked for leaks. found oil seeping out of the front under the main pulley. put black silicone on and around it. also changed the Front Crank Seal. old one was hard like plastic. so far no leaks. and holding my breathe.

Got a Reply from Jordan (previous owner who did the work). he said everything is Genuine Except for the Thermostat. explains why it went out i suppose.

still no answer. anyway. the outback has been running great. no burning oil, no over heating or loss of oil. WTF ? does my outback have Emotions or something.

Looking Good Tom. :cool:

he worked at the Subaru Dealership. I'm still waiting to find out if both thermostat and hg's are genuine.

this 2.5L is really Pi$$ing me off. when he did the gaskets he told me did the right way, worked for the subaru garage & had a buddy from the garage help with it. so I'm sure he used genuine gaskets. i can order online. and i will next pay to get the thermostat. I'll ask previous owner if they are genuine gaskets. the car did pick a good place to break down, just not a good distance. i swear these Subaru's have a mind of there own.

why subaru ? why not just any form local parts store ?. genuine i have no idea were to get one. i sure as hell aint going to cravellie the Subaru garage. they have attitudes down there. as for the head-gaskets i have no idea. i didn't do them

there is no thermostat at the moment. what was in it before i have no clue.

the head gaskets were done. the car still doesn't over heat. doesnt even reach half. i thought it may of needed burped as well. removing the thermostat was indeed the problem. the coolant was backed up.

I'd like to replace every oil gasket on the engine. far as i know and was told Valve cover Seals http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1999-Subaru-Legacy-Outback-AWD/Valve-Cover-Gasket/_/N-jd6zxZ8iics?filterByKeyWord=valve+cover+seals&fromString=search Oil Separator Plate Front Seal Rear Main Seal http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1999-Subaru-Legacy-Outback-AWD/Rear-Main-Seals/_/N-jd6zxZ8znna?filterByKeyWord=rear+main+seal&fromString=search Oil Pump Gasket http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1999-Subaru-Legacy-Outback-AWD/Oil-Pump-Seal/_/N-jd6zxZ8iiup?filterByKeyWord=Front+oil+Seal&fromString=search Oil Pan Gasket http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1999-Subaru-Legacy-Outback-AWD/Oil-Pan-Gasket/_/N-jd6zxZ8znn5?filterByKeyWord=oil+pan+gasket&fromString=search am i missing anything ? so far $75.96

that sucks !. he should go to jail right ? no insurance. good to see some progress. -John

Figures ! drove 28 miles out of town car ran great on the way up. but on the way back Smoking like a Crack Head. and i swear the Temp needle did 50mph to HOT ALL THE WAY UP!. luckily uncle Dave went passed and turned back and got us. left the 28 miles away. thermostat out and fluids drained. next morning (this morning) went and got the outback. filled it up with water and i drove it back. stayed on C the whole way back and i ran it hard 60mph most of the way. No smoke and no over heating ! WTF!

3rd of September. and my engine hasn't smoked very much. Dip Stick still sais its Full. Motor Honey is Working. i thought about running straight Motor Honey In my outback never have to change oil again

i repainted my steelies black. I'm gonna put red on them eventually.

Wow car looks great and so does the driver common wheels to put on a subaru ? i wanted to do different and put GT rims on mine and painted them black. wanna put red on but dunno yet. Great Looking Impreza !

OK. the vale cover seals are new and they don't leak. hmm oil separator plate ? i'll have to look that up. I'm fine with motor honey till i get the money to repair all the seals that require engine removal.

well i put Motor Honey in it yesterday. ran it hard today and no smoke :-\ faint smell tho. left over from leaking before is what i think it was. i will report back later if it smokes again

I'm Not Happy with my Outback Right Now. check the oil and it only had a drip on the stick. every where i got smoke roll's from under the car. police stopped and asked if everything was ok. i replied yeah why ?. and he sais your car is smoking. i told him i know it has an oil leak. all he said is get it fixed. (thought to my self) if i knew were and what was leaking. threw in my last qrt of 5w-30 runs $7 a qrt so I'm not happy with my outback what all rear seals and from seals should i replace ?. previous owner said the front cam seal is new. should i fix the engine ? or should i just get a 2.2L ?!

Stock is fine with me. just need clean and clear ones with L.E.D Bulbs

Repainted wiper arms Repainted the Black on the Bumper and fixed the sagging on left side. Headlights look like Shyt Tho :-\

i had one with 300,000 + Miles. it started up and ran like new every time. did allot of traveling that little blue Subaru. (1990 2.2L Legacy) if i have to estimate I'd say the mileage would roll over at least 2X with proper maintenance. i love Subaru and having that blue one made me love them even more.

.

never gave that a thought that would be awesome. i'll do that with the windshield lettering ! thanks for the idea.
