Oil leak after only 47000kms!

What's that about?

Only when the car is hot I think

[DacerX]

sucks i know how oil leaks can be a pain

[Guest boostin]

I've seen oil leaks at far less km's than that!!

Just bad luck I guess...

It's a design feature on Subarus. Stops them rusting.

Continuous anti rust protection system...

:D :D MAN i love subaru's , oil leaks Are to tell you, you need more oil in 2 weeks depending on how much she is bleeding

FYI Subaru s have a tendency to leak everywhere no no really from everywhere

[gemini]

They should look at doing something about that sometime

[driftrex]

from what i see through my work there are other makes far worse and more common for oil leaks than subarus.

gaskets and seals dont last forever

Exactly. If you don't like oil leaks, buy a horse.

Forever?

100000kms would be good

No issue at home, as I'm not bothered but leaving a little present on friends/family driveways not so cool

where is it leaking? easy fix or no?

There are 2 things that stop oil leaks in Subarus;

1. Dreams

2. Running out of oil

Dreams are free

My engine is spotless and dry, never dripped a single drop at 140,000kms. My gearbox on the other hand is pissing the stuff out at an alarming rate - but thats done 280,000km.

As had been said Subarus seem to have issues with oil leaks especially from the rocker covers I believe that it is because of them being boxers and the oil gets to sit here for a bit longer than on one of them thar inline jobbies...

U aint seen oil leaks until u owned anything british(especially older british) Ford and Leyland diesels alloy sumps leak thru the sump BAD castings

[Guest boostcut]

dude, its hardly the castings fault, the stupid poms should have painted the inside of the casting like on mx bike casings. they leak unless theyre painted.

[DRFVDR]

which is exactly wot I did to them actually made my own mix which worked mint

[gemini]

The leak that led to me starting this topic stopped soon after. ;D

So I suspect the leak started as a result of the car being serviced ... maybe there was a spill or the oil filter wasn't on tight.

Either way we're all good

My GTB has 128 *** on the clock, no oil leaks (incl gearbox and diffs)

[Guest keltik]

Still no oil leaks on the H6 at 148,000km. Gearbox doesnt leak either at 287,000km but the clutch slave cylinder enjoys pissing all my clutch fluid out about once a week.

[gemini]

That's what i like to hear!

[B4 2000]

Never seen a single drop ever, car done 168K

Ah Ha buy new seal (kit) for it!

that or acquire a non broken one

[Guest keltik]

Yeah i was working on the old method of "Clutch fluids cheaper". But its kinda annoying counting how many times you can use the clutch before you gotta stop and put more in. Traffic jams were a serious worry.

Anyone got a slave cylinder theyd like to donate?

[DRFVDR]

I may have one here

maybe

not sure where but i should do
