I would say its time for a new 4eat. The gears are probably fragged. Drain your great oil and trans fluid to see if you get a present:) -
Coolant temp sensor is on the coolant crossover under the intake manifold, not too hard to replace.

I would say coolant temp sensor.

No I don't think it shouldn't be too hard, it has the removable sunroof too and we had a few 90+ days out here and it stayed cool inside.

Yes, it is the shipping that has me most concerned... At $600 this would already be a deal if shipping weren't a factor! Give me a day or so and I can give you an answer. If I do it would you be willing to hang on to it for a week or two until I can arrange shipping? I would go ahead and pay you the $600 in the meantime of course. I will check out the interior pics when you get them tomorrow. And you really don't think it would be hard to get the A/C working again? I wouldn't need it yet but I would by March or April

Hey let me know if you wanna come check the rumbleroo out, we can set up a time for you to check it out. It's really a great rig it just needs some mechanical tlc that I don't have time for.

06's still leak from the HG, its not worth fretting over, find a good subaru mechanic to have them replaced and your good to go. They all leak at some point even the ej22 will as well, less prevolant but they will. Id bet even the new FB engines will suffer as well, hopefully they got smart and used the turbo gaskets.
-
IIRC there should be a ground to the block as well from the - batt.
-
Well that does make sense being in the rust belt for sure. we just never see them out here and if we do its very rare.
-
bottom line is.... there is no sure additive that will stop a oil leak without causing damage to vital engine componets and plugging galleys. When you have an oil leak, trace it to the source and replace that item that is leaking. Now if you wish to flush your oil and clean up some varnish then a little mmo or Rislone is fine, but your leak will be profuse with the thin detergent thats in those, and you would probably want to change it after about 100 miles. Did he by chance look at you PS pump:rolleyes:

I have yet to see a leaky EJ pan. Oil stabilizer...humm whats it supposed to be "stabilizing"? i though regular maintenance, oil changes are supposed to relieve these sort of issues. ANY oil additive is plain old nonsense, you just dont use them period. Unless its MMO orRislone to clean it out.Mobile one is great oil i run it in everything I own, never had a problem, but thats also because my cars have always been sealed up tight. But it does tend to thin out more at operating temp, but so do most synthetic oils. Rotella is amazing oil for sure I will give it that! it passed some extreme endurance test.
-
if the op is seeing the oil up front...one would assume that its not the separator plate, but yes at some point check to see if you do have the updated plate. but for now id stick to the front of the engine. i think his prognosis of your leak was either amature or he just didnt give a rats A$$ and did it sloppy. my bet is that he replaced the seal wrong.
-
I would NOT use any "oil stop leak" period its just not a wise decision. I would take it back to this "mechanic" and tell him that its still leaking. Were all cam seals replaced? Were they seated correctly? Did he replace the oil pump o-ring and reseal it properly(loctite 518)? Was the crank seal replaced and seated correctly? These are the things you need to watch,I've seen too many shops, seat the seals wrong or not replace all of them period. Or go nuts with rtv on the oil pump. I'd take it back if I was you and tell him to do it right. Also you should check your valve covers as well. If the mechanic knew what he was doing you would not have this on going leak. If you were closer I'd say bring it by.

why do you want a cold air intake?......the stock air box is very efficient and there is a snorkel that delivers "cold air" already. Dont waste your money on a pointless part, put in a good filter and call it a day. why spend a bunch on something that most likely has over 150k on it.
