snowbaru Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I have a 96' Legacy Outback 2.5L with an oil leak. It looked like the leak was from the back of the oil pan so I replaced a gasket, but still a leak. Leak is from the back of the engine then onto the exhaust. Any common oil leak problems or trouble shooting advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt167 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) seperator plate is super common. Reseal with ultra grey, or OEM three bond Edited May 16, 2015 by matt167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montana tom Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Of course to get to that plate you have to pull the motor , remove clutch & or flywheel too even see said plate . While you are back there using your impact screw driver ... also remove the piston pin cover (diamond shape plate on opposite side and replace the O ring underneath.If the rear main is not leaking (noticeably) then leave it alone.
