I was approached by my neighbor the other day and he asked if I would be interested in giving this a new home or if I knew of anyone that would for $250. Very clean inside and out. I just had to get it.

it has oil going into the radator but no water in oil pan. any ideas?

The front shocks had been replaced with standard and not the origional air that it should have. So it will need those. and that's the only problems with the car.

Good looking car. Well worth the $250 you dropped on it. IMHO replace the rear air struts with conventional 4wd rear struts. If not well maintained the air struts are more trouble than they are worth. Something is obvisiouly gone wrong with them for the front to be swapped.

 

 

Is it manual or auto? If auto have you absolutely verified that it is engine oil and not transmission fluid in the radiator?

its automatic, just paid for it today and haven't dug in to it yet but the oil/water in the radiator didn't think it looked or smelled like tranny fluid. But right now I'm not for sure. I didn't get much time before it got dark after I got it.

what dose the GL10 mean?

open the radiator cap. start the engine. watch for bubbles.

 

You probably have a blown headgasket. I never saw water in my oil, either, and I ran for six months and about 10K miles like that. (Didn't have much choice, I got fired when I eventually tried to get a few days off in a row to work on the bloody thing.)

it could very well be the radiator that's leaking internally, as the auto trannys are cooled through the radiator. check the transmission fluid level and check the state of the radiator.

Of course its head gaskets, its a EA82T:rolleyes:

Sorry, I have had several of these and its a common problem.....and a cheap way to get a Subaru:-p

Along with checking the rad for bubbles while running, keep an eye on the temp. If it rises above the halfway mark, it very well could be a bad HG.

Let me know if you need parts for it, I have lots and am only 45min away from you.

Also go register at http://xt6.proboards50.com/index.cgi#general.

Its a temp site right now until the original one gets some registration problems ironed out.

This just meant for the USDM it was optioned out. There were some items that had to be ordered like a LSD rear diff.
