Just thought I'd post a quick update for future visitors. I almost knew for a fact that my [plastic] oil separator plate was leaking, and it was pretty bad actually, but the wrist pin o-ring was indeed leaking too. I took the cover off and for a second I thought the old o-ring was part of the cover, that's how old/hard/crusty the rubber was. Took the corner of a razor blade, started chipping at the old o-ring (not the inside edge of the cover), and [crusty] piece by [crusty] piece she came out. I ended up ordering a new o-ring from a Subaru dealer online, fits like a gloves For the record, this was on an EJ22E w/ around 130k miles. I'm doing seals and "while you're in there" stuff all around too, btw.

Ok thx alot

Thanks for the responses everyone. I found the part and a diagram on there, but now I'm not sure which of those part #'s to get. I see the -1020 part listed and right under it the -1070 part listed as an alternate? Is one maybe an updated part?

Hi, I was recently doing some research on possible rear oil leak locations for an ej22 and came across this video which I did find quite helpful. Before I was mainly thinking rear main, but now I guess it could be that or the oil separator plate, or this access cover o-ring that this guy mentions in the video. If you see on that particular motor he's servicing there is a leak coming from the access cover, and he mentions that the o-ring for it likely failed. I've been trying to find out if there's a specific Subaru part # for that o-ring, or atleast some aftermarket replacements, but no luck so far. I won't know for sure if that's where my leak is coming from until I pull the motor sometime soon when time allows, but if that is my problem, or part of it, I'd like to be ready to fix it then.

How's it goin everyone, I'm having some problems with a cassette-to-3.5mm jack adapter in a stock 95 legacy wagon deck, and wanted to see if anyone could give me some insight. Problem being, I put the adapter in, the deck accepts it, it "ticks" a few times, then the deck spits it out. I found that some people had luck opening up the adapter and removing the set of gears that prevent the tape from turning in the opposite direction, tried it, still no go. I thought maybe I just got a bad adapter so I tried it in a friend's stock wrx deck, works beautifully... so it has to be my deck?
