96 Legacy starts to "buck" when steering wheel is cut either left or right going both forward and backwards. Feels as if I'm in a 4x4 (engaged) truck turning on dry pavement?! My 93 is starting to also do this. This happens almost all of the time when moving slowly, say, in a parking space; pulling out/in a driveway.... Thnx. sambo

Not my wifes 96 but my 93 would die out everytime I would turn something on. I would wait, say 15-30 minutes later then Try and start it again. Once it was started it would run/drive slugish for about a mile and die out again. My problem was the alternator. Basically my alternator was junk and was not doing any charging. Don't know if this helps or not. ALWAYS check the "easy" things first. sambo

I guess I'm in the incorrect "forum". I should be in the "newer subaru forum"......excuse meeee:rolleyes:! I just registered yesterday, so it'll take me awhile to figure this out. Am I going to be fined?? Because I'm losing oil through the seal I lose pressure which is why light comes on...right? I knew I shouldn't have bought this vehicle. More $! Thank you, sambo

96 Outback w/ 120k. Leaking oil where the timing belt is. Was told that it's an oil seal where the timing belt is. No problem, been putting oil 10W-40 (about 1/2 qut.) about every two weeks. Problem now I've noticed is that at idle...say at a traffic lite, the oil light comes on then goes out when u accelerate. This happens when the car is at opert. temp.. I check the dipstik and it's "safe". There must be oil in the pan if I'm getting a reading? I don't want to go to the shop since I've already spent alot of cash just getting this car running to pass inspection. Adding oil I can deal with...for now. I doubt it's a faulty bulb. I think MAYBE at idle the oil is Not flowing??? Suggestions would be great. I bought this car cheap and like I said, I already spent enough $ on repair's to get it inspected. Thank You, sambo
