I recently purchased a 99 Forester L for my wife, with the 2.5L and Auto Trans. Coming from a domestic car upbringing, Subaru mechanics are new to me. For starters, there is an electrical connection on the drivers side top of the trans that is leaking. The mechanic at the dealer said this was common, and is from an o-ring. Anyone know a part number for that o-ring? I can't seem to find it at any parts store, so I'm sure I'll have to go to the dealer for it.
Also, what kind of things do I need to be looking out for on a Subaru with 93K miles? I'll be going over the car front to back soon, replacing all filters and fluids just to be safe. Also, I was planning on replacing the timing belt and water pump at 100K or so just out of habit, and would love any advice in that area.
Thanks for any feedback for a new guy.
