Agree on the head gasket.. Have a 96 OBL and I did a complete engine rebuild. Pulled the motor and all.. Not too difficult to do, but I've learned a few things about the rebuild.. Worth the effort & time. Best way to properly repair it, in my opinion.

Did you post this on nasioc asking about steam coming from your car?

Do you think your headgaskets might be leaking? As mentioned by others, the stop-leak stuff won't help much on an internal leak, on the other hand the internal HG leak which sometimes affects Phase 1 2.5l's usually doesn't cause steam.

 

There's some links to headgasket information here: http://users.sisna.com/ignatius/subaru/headgasket.html
