I picked up a 08 outback for the wife to drive back an forth to work. Park the SUV to save money. I noticed that the drivers side axle has been replaced. I also notice at 70 + and there is a slight vibration.
Today I need to replace headlight bulb, get that done so I decided to look at some oil or greese residue that is all around the area where the drivers side axle would spin and sling grease. I determined that it does appear to be grease. I will clean that all up this weekend.
so I had it jacked up and and running to see if I saw anything. All of sudden I see a drip on the drivers side. yep coolant is dripping from looks to be around the lower part of the head. At this time I can't tell if I have an oil leak. Pretty messy a up and round that area. I will try and get a picture if I can.
I guess now what can I do? Can I try and put something in the Coolant to try and stop the leak?
I have read some post, but just got on the forum the other day.
If the head gasket, needs replaced do you have to pull the motor or can it be done in the car?
Thanks for the help in advance..
