Hello all, I have a question. Is there anyway, short of actualy replacing the rear main seal, to lessen the amount of oil pouring onto my y-pipe and thus...
You can buy a quart of Main Seal Leak Stopper stuff (made by Bar's Leak, I think) at AutoZone or Advance Auto for around $10 bucks... I guess it might be worth...
There is also the Seperator plate which starts leaking. The fix for that is to replace it with a metal plate. i dont think anything will help that aside from...
Here's some info to check out... I used the Bar's Leak Rear Main Seal Repair stuff in a leaky 3.0L Mitsubishi V6 and it seemed to slow the (multiple) leaks...
This is Kyle, the guy with the 1991 rhd legacy 4wd wagon I believe roberts was 100% correct when he said (referring to my last subaru problem) that he thinks...

There have been a few others. One spectacular one, was what we will call "driver error".... or what i would call "no way in hell your driving my car" I...
I'd like to thank the guys who advised me about my Subaru - the problem with the sensor versus the catalytic converter. I had my exhaust man replace the front...
now I have a question for you, nipper... I was told by some guy when I was out watching illegal street races one night, that the wrx 6spd MT's have ceramic...
I know Subaru specicifically says that street racing or evidence of street racing fully voids the warrenty of the transmission. During normal driving the...
I dont street race, I dont feel comfortable racing in the street, especially since I've seen so many people race, and then suddenly see a car coming toward...
More people are killed by cell-phone talking idiots not watching traffic, drunk drivers, retired people, etc.etc.etc. than all of the illegalč street racing...
Hello all, I came across this question on the edmonds site and I am hoping for some clarity. Any help would be appreciated, now my legacy intermitently has...
It may not be the rear main seal, but it most likely is the breather seperator plate (cover). This is behind the flywheel on the rear of the engine block. The...
Not to answer your question, or anything of that natuture... but, this leads me to a question in general about soobie seals and oil leaks... Why do soobies...
My best guess is poor or underestimated designs. Also on a straight engione the layout is so much more difernt, that 90% of the leaks on a I or V engine never...
We have a '97 Outback that blew the head gaskets. Rather than mess around trying to redo the heads etc etc, we had the dealer put in a rebuilt long block...
Glad to hear it's all working out. If the car wasn't over heated, you usually don't have to rework the heads, which keeps the cost down significantly on the...
Yes, Glen, I did overheat the heads and that was exactly the conundrum we had when we talked with the dealer... go in and take a look at the heads ($1200) or...
Sounds like a good outcome, if expensive. I had a similar issue with my S10 transmission. Rear seal leaking, not major, but by the time you spend $600 on just...
... $600 to replace the rear seal in a RWD auto trans!?!?! WOW! A $10 part and about 20 minutes tops to drop the driveshaft, pop the old seal out, pop the new...
It was the front seal actually, you have to drop the trans to get at it, hence all the labor. It had 130k on it, so it was only a matter of time until another...

Connecticut. The key is going to be finding a whole WRX setup, turbo, motor, intercooler if it has one, ECM, wiring, headers, the works, since it's a...
That had more to do with cell phone use than anything else, speed wasn't really a factor at all. And I drive the car too yaknow :-) Glen ... From: "Roberts"...
