I go to GR to Delta Imports where I bought my Outback; I was given two names of mechanicis in Holland: Sybesma, 335-2197 and Mike, 396 5635; recommended by the Import garage on 8th St.

Engine light came on...no problems noted. Thanks for your interest. Drew

Hi, New user here. Glad you all are around for me to bounce questions off of. I AM NOT a mechanical person, in fact you could call me challenged! My OB Sta Wgn is a 2003 with the 2.5L engine with 43,000 miles on it. About a month ago I began noticing the smell of anti-freez in the passenger compartment and around the front of the exterior. Last week the engine light came on and I took it to a local mechanic; he said the error was a problem with the catalytic converter. This seemed strange because Subaru replaced the CC under warranty at about 30,000 miles. He also said there "might" be a tiny leak of coolant from the rear of the engine but could not see a source. No loss of coolant that I can tell, the temp gauge is always indicating dead center. Does this model have a history of head gasket problems as some Subarus have had in the past? Is this covered by Subaru if it is a head gasket? How do I deal with the dealership? Thanks in advance for your help. Drew
