Stelcom66 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) I know there's a ton of information about the FB25 cam carrier leaks, and I've done a lot of research. Of all of the forums, I trust the advice/opinions of this one the most. I've seen that although it's usually a seepage, it sometimes can drip onto sensors. Is it known of any other long term situations of not having the sealant re-applied? I know the leak can return over time. With that engine - checking oil I realize would be routine to do anyway. It seems the CVTs are relatively reliable in that era. Situations for me will be changing, and while I don't currently own a Subaru, but have owned many over the years - I'm considering an Outback or Forester in the 2016 year range. Are the 3.6 engines prone to the leak as well? Edited December 16, 2023 by Stelcom66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 They're rather tame, I don't think there's any major concerns. EZ engines i don't think have that happen to any greater extent than average. I'm sure you've seen it but there's a TSB for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelcom66 Posted December 17, 2023 Author Share Posted December 17, 2023 Yes - saw the TSB. I guess if under warranty it would make sense to have the repair done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
