ImprezaPo

I bought the car from a dealer last month, so I actually don't know if it's been replaced. I'm guessing it would be really hard to tell. Are oil leaks like this a common side effect of an old timimg belt? What would you expect to pay for a timing belt replacement on this car?

Timing belt has not been replaced. It has 88k on it. Is it due already?

Other than the annoying smell, i guess it's not that big of a deal and a classic subaru problem? Thanks for the info. about the oil seperator plate!

88k

1998 Impreza 2.2l hatchback Oil has collected on the top of the exhaust pipe and is burning off. It's sort of where the manifolds connect to a straight pipe under the dash on passenger side. Here's an archaic exhaust picture where the arrow shows where the oil is burning off on. \ / \ / | <--------- Any idea where that would be coming from? There are a couple of drops of oil dripping from the car on my garage floor but nothing significant. Oil level is fine too.
