4Sugars Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hi can anyone suggest how I could fix this little Oil leak? If someone could direct me to a link that has had the same prob that would be great. A step by step diagram would be perfect as I do not know much about my gem (YET!)! It doesn't seem like it would be very hard to fix&clean. http://groups.msn.com/ASubaru/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=2[/url] http://groups.msn.com/ASubaru/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=1 :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 The pics make it hard to tell where the leak is coming from. I would clean the area, then look for where its coming from. Then you can go about fixing it because then you will know whether you need a seal, a sealer, a o-ring or a gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northguy Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Little leaks are pretty much par for the course. Keep after them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Leak? You call that a leak? That doesn't look like a leak to me! How may Quarts of oil do you add per week? That looks like an extremely slow dribble to me. I recycle my oil from the pan on the floor of my garage Glenn 82 SubaruHummer---AKA leakmobile! 01 Forester---better not be leaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I go through about a quart a week with my Sub....you get used to the smell and the smoke can be fun at times! Like I said before..I was told by a wise Subaru mechanic...a leaky Subaru is NOT a rusty Subaru:brow: BTW..I am hooked on this forum too!
