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
