I have 2011 outback 2.5 with 78,xxx miles . Coolant was changed at 75,xxx miles and now my coolant outlet- under intake manifold is starting to leak, and needs coolant bypass pipe o-rings and intake manifold gaskets. 1. How common is this? 2. How much should this cost? Dealer asked for arm AND LEG. 3. They said I can wait until it gets worse and keep adding antifreeze, but I’ve read this can cause engine damage. WHAT THE.... 4. I am disappointed in this car and the dealership for giving me bad information verbally, and different printed information. I have taken excellent care of this vehicle. It literally looks like new, and has been serviced regularly. Can I take it anywhere? Or should it go to a dealer only. TIA, AMY
