From my oil changes, I’ve been noticing my vehicle was either burning or leaking about a quart of oil every 5k miles. Being a noob, I’ve been ignoring it for a while. Today I found the area where it seeks to be leaking but can’t really nail down an exact location. Pardon my photos. Maybe the...

Hi! New to the forum from Colorado! I have a 2004 Outback with the 2.5 EJ251 with 189k. I purchased the car back (also got an 05 for the wife) in July from a used car dealer. Recently I’ve been having over heating issues with the ‘04 and I have replaced the thermostat with OE, new radiator...
