Hey everyone, I own a 2000 Subaru Outback Limited with about 192k miles. Just recently, there has been white smoke coming from under the hood. Specifically from the header or manifold on the driver side. From what we’ve read, we suspect it’s a valve cover gasket issue. We still aren’t sure...

2010 Outback - 2.5i limited - 4th Vin letter B So I finished the timing belt change, changing almost everything including the water pump and thermostat. I added the conditioner and the coolant, started it up this morning, and let it run waiting for the fans to click on it. It idled at around...

I noticed a pretty substantial drop in my power steering fluid reservoir the other day and topped it off before going on a few hour drive.

Our tailgate area of our 2012 Outback was getting water in it. I think this has been going on for years, but it wasn't very noticeable because here in SLC we only get snow in the winter (very little rain in summer, etc). I kept thinking the musty smell was just from leftover water on our boots...

Power steering pumps leaking from seals seems to be pretty common. I recently developed a very bad leak on my 2006 2.5 OB Limited. Doing some research, it seemed that many people have had the pump leak from the top elbow hose connection. My pump is leaking on the driver’s side face. This is...
