Dealers still stock and sell the older Green stuff. Was it leaking green from the factory fill?Hi Guys,
My 550 mile old 2013 OB seems to have spring a coolant leak somewhere, bringing it back to the dealer to get fixed but I noticed something weird...
Coolant leaking out was green. I was under the impression that Subaru Super Coolant = Blue, not green.
Can someone with a '13 check what color the stuff in their expansion tank is? Wondering if this might be causing the leak - in BMW-land, the myth is if you pour anything other than the genuine blue BMW stuff you will spring leaks - wondering if this is what happened with my car.
What about your prior car, could it have done it? Its also possible that you have some creatures living in your garage oozing green stuff. Better pickup some antizombie rounds at the local sporting good store.I am starting to think I am on crack - will take pics if it happens again, hopefully not.
I thought about my other car, which is a BMW, being the leak culprit but it has been relegated to curb parking for the Outback since I picked it up 2 weeks ago. The coolant in the BMW is super dark blue, much darker than Subaru Super Coolant which is a bummer because I had hoped it was the same stuff. Super Coolant is easily 2.5 times more expensive than BMW coolant. 1 Gal of Mixed Super Coolant is $25 around here in Nor Cal, BMW Coolant is $18/gal un-mixed.What about your prior car, could it have done it?

The monkeys on the assembly line could have overfilled it. I've never looked but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a tube for over flow to come out of if the plastic tank on the drivers side was too full.I thought about my other car, which is a BMW, being the leak culprit but it has been relegated to curb parking for the Outback since I picked it up 2 weeks ago.

I am thinking the fluorescent garage lights plus my grey floors made the coolant look greenish. Oh well. No leaks since my visit to the dealer so I am guessing it was a one-off event. More than happy to have a non-leaky car.
