Torque Converter Came out and Oil Spills From Tranny Shaft
lmdew replied to Deeron's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMake sure you have not dented the trans pan if you put a jack under it. If dented you may block the fluid pickup.

Brake Fluid Leak Above Gas Tank Rear Passenger Side
lmdew replied to msmithmmx's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXMy brother in WI just had the same issue with his 97 Legacy Wagon. He got some line from an auto parts store and just splice it in from the junction block on the passenger side. It's the one up for sale. While it fixed the brake leak, he does not want to sell it as a running car for someone. So it's up for parts.

98 Legacy Outback no fans on AC and P0441
lmdew replied to lmdew's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThat may be why I did not have the code at 6200' here in Colorado Springs but Eric has it at Sea Level out in Seattle. I told you Nick the Subaru just likes Colorado! Thanks for all the work GD!

Broken oil pump bolts
lmdew replied to Arty's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXIf the thread extractor broke in the bolt, no drill will work. Which bolt is it? The extractors are hardened and you can not drill them.

Broken oil pump bolts
lmdew replied to Arty's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXThe bolts are holding in in place but also snug against the sealing surface. Did the bolts break or did you strip the threads out of the block? If they broke you may be able to get them out with reverse twist drills or drill and easy out. If you stripped the threads, heli coil the damaged hole in the block. You are right there now. If you put it all back together you will have lots of work to get back down to the pump. While you can most likely drive it, it depends on which two of the bolts broke. It's a roll of the dice. It's Always better to Do It Right the First Time!

Outback washer not working
lmdew replied to Ever Victorious's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXPut a jumper wire into the connector and hook up the pump. Put your meter to the jumper wires so you can read the voltage under load. I bet you have a significant voltage drop.

Outback washer not working
lmdew replied to Ever Victorious's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXWith no load, pump disconnected your meter can lie to you. Check out Load Pro on you tube. It allows you to load the circuit ruling out high resistance. Easy enough to hit the self serve yards and pop out a couple of Subaru pumps.

Alternator ?
lmdew replied to mickytrus's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX14.3 volts or so is what the Alt should be putting out. Check all the battery and battery cable connections. The negative cable goes back to the engine block, just in front of the starter. You didn't say what year or model it was. Most auto parts stores will test your alt for free. If you do need one, I have several for 96-99. Go Subaru, new or used is better than aftermarket. Larry

Backed - Up Overflow & Check Engine
lmdew replied to Cambion84's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYes you should be concerned. Subaru's come up to temp and the temp gauge is always at the same spot if everything is working properly. Make sure you check the radiator coolant level in the tank, not just the overflow when it's cold. It should be full. The newer 2.5 have external coolant and or oil leaks at the HG. Check them. It is possible that the load was just to much. Has it been back to normal since? Latty
