Well that is great news. thanks everyone.

Hi all, I'm a newbie and have been lurking the past few days...... anyways I just picked up an 89 GL 4x4 5 speed for $600. I basically bought it sight unseen because it's a sweet old subaru and I'm looking for a winter project to work on. This thing leaks a lot of oil and coolant so I figured I would pull the engine and redo the seals and gaskets etc... I am by no means a mechanic but I figured fixing up an old car would be a good way to learn. Then I noticed this hole in what I believe is the cylinder head on the passenger side. It's right next the exhaust pipe connection. Do I need a new head? or is this repairable? I hate to get too involved in something that will end up being junked. Thanks in advance!
