Hi everyone, new member to this forum, though I am a 2nd time Subaru owner. First was a 1991 Loyale that lasted 200K+ miles when we finally sold her for a 1995 Legacy wagon. Got the wagon with 40K, now has 90K (just a baby) and it runs great.
Main question I have is how imperative is it to change the timming belts. If a belt breaks does it destroy the engine or just leave you stranded? We never did on the Loyal and always figured I was lucky, but have been thinking my luck may be running thin. I have developed a small oil leak (real slight, 1 drip per day) and it seems like it may be comming from the timing cover gasket, but it is hard to be sure.
Anyway, just thought I would ask. also, what would someone expect to pay for belt replacement?
Thanks fopr the input
