Hi, i have a 1985 subaru gl wagon, I was doing a little mudding a few days ago, then yestarday i went over a speed bump, The engine got real deep, rattled alot, and died, I dont know much of anything about cars, its my first subaru, I looked under the hood, And found the left tensioner on the ground, I tried to put it back on, and it looks right, but the car wont start, and by chance it starts, it runs Really bad and dies unless the petal is to the floor, and then it only goes to 3k rpms, i have a vacuum gauge, and the pressure is reading zero. Any idea's? =\

Welcome!

 

The oil pan didn't get Damage, isn't it?

I dont see any damadge to the oil pan, But upon closer inspection, the right head where the belt connects to, behind that is a shaft going into the engine, and on the shaft is a black seal just hanging there, im not sure if it was there before, but is it possible that came from inside the engine?
