Need some advice on identifying 3 problems


Recommended Posts

Progress continues, slowly (original thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=117524)

 

1.) Noticing some moisture here and I can't figure out what that canister looking thing is:

2.) Noticed the line to the auto tranny has been disconnected. From the routing diagram it looks to fit to a T-connector with two other hoses, but I can't find them:

3.) Biggest issue keeping me from driving it is a general smoke and burning smell coming out of the engine... It appears to be coming from behind the hot air pipe outlet (which I taped off for now), right where the y-connector/cat exits to the exhaust pipe. Wondering if this is a sign of a plugged cat? I do get a little "noise" when I rev her. I'm trying to avoid having to drop the exhaust due to having to work on gravel, unless I'm sure it's going to help.

#1 is part of the emissions system and comes from the header exhaust port.

 

#2 looks like the breather hose, it shouldnt be connected to anything.

 

#3 looks like grease splatter from when a CV boot broke. It usually makes a big mess all over the firewall and exhaust. It will burn off eventually.

Thanks a lot Turbone! So much emissions stuff in the engine bay, it's driving me insane! OK, I probably misread the emissions/vacuum line diagram, what's left of it. The CV boot did look relatively new come to think.
