98wfw Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Help needed. 98 forester just bought it. Runs hot, flushed radiater new antifrieze, after a run locally the plastic reservoir gets filled up and suprts out coolant. Could there be a headgasket problem? also changed the thermostat. Good heat coming from the vents. Anyone have the same problem, need a solution. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradosubarules Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Have it sniffed for exhaust smell in the coolant. Was it overheating before or after you did any work to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coloradosubarules Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Ahhhhh.... Did you try burping the cooling system? If not do a search on the board for burping...trust me. Try that first then get back to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
