I have a 1999 Subaru wagon..started leaking water … runs but need to
replace water..can not find help via friends..going to have to fix it
myself…have watched many videos from utube are replacement parts
available or an I going to have to find it via u pull it yards .. ???
Likely. I have a lot of videos on replacing the head gaskets on those.
Search my videos for #head #Subaru
i have a 2005 subaru wrx sti and it keeps over heating but theres no
leaking in the rad so im thinking its the same problem as in this video….
how much will this cost to fix for shop rate? would i be better off selling
it ?
@trunitemare NGK V-Power
@briansmobile1 Thank you for the rapid response. I was also wondering what
kind of spark plugs do you recommend for the Legacy… NGK V-Power or the
Iridium type plugs or something completely different?
WHAAAAA???? Sign me up for one! Where do I buy this unicorn motor?
@Niteguy705 Check out this vid. “Did your Subaru Forester Head Gasket fail?
How to know. ” It could be a water pump, heater hose, or water pump elbow
hose.
Hey Brian do you a video on how to replace an oil pump on a Subaru..?
most likely. Go to car-part d#0t C#0m and look up if they are
interchangeable.
it and its not leaking from the exhaust. i’m thinking it has to do
something with the head but i’m not 100% sure. i did a compression test one
time and it had 90 psi in it. and there are bubbles in my radiator and
overflow tank. overall i don’t see it leaking from anywhere. what do think
it might be?
@Flaheat It DOES. Aren’t they pretty?
Nope. It’s on the front around the crankshaft. It’s external.
Hi Brian, Will a 2.5 motor from a 98 forester fit into a 99 Outback Ltd?
SOHC EJ series engines are easy to rebuild compared to the DOHC engines.
Does this car have aftermarket headers on it?
Hey Brian, I got an 2006 Subaru Legacy and it runs fine, but I’ve noticed
the antifreeze in the overflow container or reservoir (next to the
radiator) keeps lowering just a little bit over a period of months. For
example when I fill it to the FULL mark, it drops down about 2cm above the
LOW mark. Is this due to a leak (I checked everywhere and nothing) or is
this normal? Oh yeah, the car has about 66,000 miles.
@Chris07860 Not yet. I’m just too twitchy on the cut button. My bad. I’m
still learning this new camera.
I understand I have to get a better camera soon since mine took a dive on
me and I will eventually do some more vids
@spelunkerd It’s leaking out the plastic collector on the left side of the
motor where all to hoses come together. They’re like $8-20 from the
dealership.
I have a farri
You seem to be always working on suburus. my sister wants to buy one, and
it just looks like they’re always in need of repair. your opinion please.
about the same time. Some H6’s I’m seeing fail around 90K
Brian, I know most older N/A Subarus are prone to premature head gasket
failure however what about the newer turbo motors? More specifily 2.5 turbo
wrx, sti and lgt motors? When do they usually fail?
Drivers side head gasket combustion gas leak into the coolant. 99% sure.
$1800 is the going rate for head gaskets on that.
Brian is there a part 2? because you were still talking as the video ended.
@trunitemare This is pretty normal. My guess is that it’s evaporation and
condensation down the overflow tube. If it drops like that in a week or two
that’s another problem/leak.
Haha.. $1800 (and some change) is what a brand spanking new EJ257 STI block
cost at the time of this comment. And it’s the 2010+ one too with the heat
treated crank.
@briansmobile1 Thanks, I’ll have a look when we are out there next month.

Hello Brian I have a 99 Impreza 2.5RS with the SOHC EJ25… i can see
coolant dripping from the bottom of the engine after being driven… but
the engine does not overheat.. atleast not yet… suggestions? Do you think
its the head gasket or just some hose… I cant see any mayo effect on the
dipstick either… atleast not yet…
My son keeps having to put more antifreeze into his Jetta, with no evident
leak that he can see. He’s a thousand miles away so I can’t look at it, but
he says no problem with the exhaust, the oil is fine and it’s not
overheating, engine runs great. I wonder if it may have a slow leak that is
hard to find, perhaps only when hot. Other ideas?
