Hey, I just bought a 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 xt Limited with about 100,000 miles on it. I didn't notice anything wrong with it at first, but now I notice it idles rough most of the time. It has some vibration while I'm on the brakes right before I come to a stop. It also has been averaging 17 mpg in the city. I know it's unrealistic to expect the "official" mileage, but that seems low. I have been using 91-rated fuel in it since I got it, but I don't know that the dealership or previous owner used it.
It also has a very slow leak that burns off after leaving it for a few days and driving it. I took it to a guy who supposedly specializes in Subarus today and he told me it wasn't a head gasket or anything serious, but couldn't pinpoint what it was that was leaking. I don't know if that's related at all.
Thanks in advance for any ideas on what it could be!
