[gear oil leak]

I will have to check that out, was it a hard job to complete?

 

I took it to my dealer. Get the OEM Subaru seals. They last longer, and not that expensive. They are called 'axle shaft seals'.

The dealer wanted to charge me $290.00 to install an aftermarket one. I think I'll put it in myself.

[gear oil leak]

In my '85, the front diff was leaking gear oil where the driveshaft goes into the case. There are two seals (inside and outside) on each side that may need to be replaced.

Thanks! I bought a new aftermarket one off Ebay for 18.99 + 65.00 shipping.

Anyone know where to get one? I'm in Canada.

[just bought GL-10, and I' m kinda worried]

My '85 GL-10 Turbo was losing coolant, but I couldn't find the leak. Finally, after much searching I found the culprit. There is a short piece of heater hose on the passenger side under the turbo which goes from an outlet to the turbo. It was bulging and spongy. I replaced it and never had to top up the radiator since.

 

 

 

 

 

I can't tell yet Jim. I haven't had time to start pulling things apart. I basically crawled under the engine, ran a finger across the block, and put some of the leaky stuff on my tongue. It was antifreeze.

 

It looks like there may be more than one leak. As I mentioned, there is fluid coming out of a little hose attached to a nipple on the intake manifold. The leak there is caused by rust on the nipple itself which I guess caused the hose to break down.

 

I'm not sure where the other one is coming from. You say the turbo? How can I check this?

 

Thanks.
