Hey,

 

Just joined the site, and I'm looking for some info. I've read a few posts and it seems that head gasket problems are quite common. My vehicle is a '98 Forester with 180k. Recently purchased and had to have the head gasket replaced right off the bat. Now, 2 weeks later, check engine light came on and the coolant tank is empty.......puddle on the ground. Wondering if this is related to the head gasket replacement or maybe just a loose fitting after the repair. Any advice would really be appreciated.

 

Cheers

Fill and bleed the system and get it back to the shop that did the work. It shouldn't be doing that. Check to see if an easy fix, but still let the shop know so it doesn't happen to the next person.
