Thanks that helped. Phillips head plastic Drain screw on bottom pass side, looked weird but it worked. Extracted overflow res with mitevac and flushed heater core. Not really into subarus wife's new car i was trying to save the head gaskets. '05 2.5 123k miles. Smelled coolant in the exhaust on cold starts. Studied up online, cleaned batt. terminals, changed coolant, added sub conditioner, head bolts tight, still smelled it, goes away when warm, everything else seems ok. Oil on bottom of motor but no coolant under motor or in oil. Extent of my abilities. She took it to her shop, they said gaskets & water pump leaking. P.O. had receipt in car for tb@ 100k but nothing else from another shop. Wife's shop has fixed her subarus before has a subaru mechanic. Quoted 500 for wp or 1100 for everything, she had everything done, wp/tb kit & hg's, still smells like coolant in exhaust when cold. I wonder why but can't do any more with it, disabled, was wondering if anybody else has a coolant smell exhaust when cold in the newer 2.5 cars?
thanks again
