Can't identify the coolant leak!
CHEMICAL replied to CHEMICAL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI will look at that next, thanks. The thing is that there is absolutely no coolant anywhere on top of the engine...I only see it leaking down underneath.

CHEMICAL replied to CHEMICAL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXNot sure what gasket they used but I do know that since they had the heads decked it probably shaved off the little posts that keep everything in place during reassembly.

CHEMICAL replied to CHEMICAL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXRemoved the air box today. Looked at every possible angle that I could, even with a mirror, and did not see any hoses leaking anywhere. Stopped at Subaru today and bought 2 bottles of their stop leak. Hopefully they do the trick. I'm hoping it's not the worst case scenario that my head gaskets are bad again because I definitely can't afford another head gasket job. Also, hopefully there isn't a crack involved...that would suck. I just can't imagine that the head gasket would be leaking this much...I mean...there is a steady drip dripping down all over the tie rods, differentials, off the bottom of the oil pan, etc.

CHEMICAL replied to CHEMICAL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXJust wanted to state that when the car is running it is a pretty steady fresh clean green anti-freeze leak so I am figuring that it is coming from a hose. Once more I would like to thank everyone for their replies.

CHEMICAL replied to CHEMICAL's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXI was thinking this exact same thing. I was actually sizing up the air box today and thinking about removing it. Might get to it tomorrow. Thanks everyone for your input.

Can't identify the coolant leak!
Hello all, Have read some posts on here before and many were helpful. I now have a new problem. Let me give you a brief history of my "white elephant": I have a 2003 Legacy 5 Door that has given me nothing but problems since I bought it used in 2007. I had the head gaskets replaced and the heads decked in 2009, had the entire coolant system replaced last year and have been through about 4 or 5 thermostats during the entire process. I had been having an overheat issue for a while and decided a few weeks ago to just replace the thermostat myself since none of my local mechanics seem to know what they're doing and the local Scooby dealer has a notoriously bad reputation. Well the overheat issue was fixed instantly, my anti-freeze flow reverted back to normal, but now that I have proper flow I have a new leak...a leak so bad that I can smell it while driving and I have had to completely fill the reservoir twice in about the last week and a half. The leak seems to be coming from the section of the engine that is directly under the air box ( I don't know what it's called since I'm not 100% engine savvy but I believe it's some sort of manifold), running out and down the left head, and dripping all over the oil pan, etc. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chemical
