I'm 95% sure my 2003 Legacy has the dreaded external HG leak. Both sides appear to be leaking oil slightly and the rear of the drivers side appears to be leaking coolant. I plan on trying the Subaru "Seal Conditioner", but have little faith...
Anyone done one of these before? If I've built a Type IV can I do this? I'd probably yank the motor and just do both to get it over with. |
