Please do! Id like to get something attractively wired so i can keep the factory stuff intact!

Ive only had the car a few months, so cant really say if the ticking is new or not. Its not real loud, just enough to be noticeable. It also goes away when its in neutral, and increases while accellerating, but not while revving in neutral. I end up just putting it in neutral for most lights. Guess its a not to worry!

Things are noticeably worse when the car is cold, but when im stopped at a stop light the car is pretty rough. Also there is a clicking noise while driving. My first thought was the notoriously noisey lifters but if i put the transmission into neutral everything is smooth and quiet, even when revving the engine. Trans fluid looks fine, and i took the car to Carter about six weeks ago (7000 miles since then) for the 30k service. Its a 2000 outback automatic, so its out of warranty unfortunately. They said everything was well while they had it, but i hadnt specifically complained about this. Think this is something i should be concerned about? Is there anything I should check out?

I picked up a used 2000 Outback Ltd with 28k a few months ago. The thing seemed like an awesome deal! I love the car, and driving 5000/month im getting to know it fairly well Unfortunately here in the northwest rain is all too common this time of year. Ive been noticing water dripping from the map lights. Ive done a cursory visual inspection of the sunroofs and dont see anything that would cause a leak there. Where else could this water be coming from? Google doesnt turn up any resolutions, so Im hoping some of you might have ran across this before and could point me towards a solutions. Thanks!
