MilesFox Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 what hole are you talking about? look under the thermostat for the little hose that connects to the top of the block. i'll bet that is leaking. coolant runs down the top of the block, and collects at the spark plug. there is a drain hole for at the spark plug if this is what you are asking for. it could be a possible intake gasket, but rare. look at the hose first, most likely culprit.

RichDuBois Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 This is the bolt hole Right by #4 cylinder the motor is out this is looking at #4 from the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) The hole was drilled too far and is peircing the water jacket. You can likely epoxy that and save the head. Either that or it's got a major crack - though I've never seen one crack like that. I have seen pictures of similar problems with other Subaru engines though - it's not unheard of for a water jacket to get too close to a bolt hole and get missed durring inspection. Something may have shifted when it was cast and they just didn't catch it when they machined the head.

Qman Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Head gasket or cracked head. It leaks out of there when the gasket is going out or the head is cracked. I have seen it one other time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDuBois Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Okay this is what I found Wired I think that is where the head bolt goes through. the head gasket blew water jacket to the head bolt. I FEEL LUCKY just a head gasket . backside of gasket but I i found something else i need some ideas what i should do to fix this one. One of the intake holes are stripped out . Can someone please give me some ideas on how to fix this Thanks for all you Help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 You should be able to get a heli-coil in there without too much trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
