I bought a used 1998 2.5L Subaru that had the head gaskets replaced just before I bought it. Now 3,000 k on it since this job. Was done by a Subbie technician. I recently had the Subaru serviced with oil change, new brake and power steering fluid, now less than week after the service have a small leak (looks like oil??)....my fear is the head gaskets....but one would think they should be ok, as only put on 3,000 since replaced. Anyways, bringing it back to placed I serviced to see if they may have not tighten everything right during service. The leak may not even be related to the service so not sure. Before the oil change I did check the oil and dip stick was full through 2,700 miles of driving...so mystery here. Just hope not serious. Wonder if this leak would have shown up if did not have serviced? Any comments welcomed.
By the way, I also own a 2.2 L '98 Legacy, and it HAS NOT had the head gasket
woes...just cam seal replaced......better engine?
