Greetings! I've got an 09 outback with 142k bought it about a week ago, and just noticed an oil leak just behind the manifold, somewhat. Wasn't quite sure what it could be. I've had some tell me it's the camshaft seal, but I'm not too sure.
Apologies for the image quality. Haven't gotten to put the car on a hoist just yet. Also work overnights, so it's rather dark out. I'm thinking the leak is farther up than that, but I can't really see up in there too well.
The images taken were about 4 hours after driving to work. Has sat off for those hours (of course)
Image 1, passenger side manifold, looking towards the rear.
Image 2, passenger exhaust manifold
Image 3, oil spot under vehicle, using my key as a size comparison.
Thanks a bundle for those that help. If more images would be needed / helpful, Lemme know
