1999/2000 Legacy probs

**Vybz** · #1: 11-03-2009, 09:23 PM

Plz dont bash me guys, its my first Subaru....lol

I have a 1999/2000 twin turbo model Right hand Drive and it's tip tronic.
I'm seeing some oil around the actuator and on the firewall on the left side (standing infront the car facing the engine) and it drips on the exhaust and the cradle. Can u guys shed some light as to what may cause this. I inspected around the intercooler and the hoses around, didnt really take off the shield on the turbo to see, but everything looks clean though.

Someone told me it could be a faulty power steering line?
thanks in advance peeps.

Check your turbos for oil leakage. Not sure how they do it on those cars but I assume its oil cooled. Make sure that's solid and not squirtin' nothing.

about 5K for one with 100-120K KM on the odo...probably less buying direct from a seller...haven't topped out yet but 135 or so km/h...gotta get on the expressway

**cody.funk** · #8: 11-07-2009, 11:26 AM

thanks guys,
i thinki will do an engine wash first and then try to locate the leak/s

what kind of suspension upgrades are available for the Legacy?
some friends told me that some of the other model Subaru can be interchanged.....can u guys confirm?
desperately need some struts and the suspension bushings....
thanks

Get the Bilsteins off a JDM Legacy GT-B, its a great suspension!
