STILL overheating Forester
lmdew replied to CFab's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXHG most likely. The high pressure is combustion gas leaking into the coolant. bubbles in the overflow tank. I picked up a 98 that blew coolant about 30' in the air when I started the engine to finishing filling the radiator.
