Thanks for your reply. Yes the coolant is being pushed out of the overflow bottle. I just downloaded a manual. Not sure if I should attempt to replace the head gasket myself or bring the parts to a shop because I don't have any special tools, garage, and haven't taken an engine apart before..do you think I could still do it?

Thanks for the reply. In the google drive link, on the first picture, the leak is coming from the vertical glossy tube. Someone else told me that this isn't stock Subaru and he has no idea what it is. It appears to be an Upper Turbo Coolant Reservoir, but I don't think it is because my engine isn't turbo. The leak happened after the test drive when the coolant was spurting up from the top part of that.

Hi everyone, I just bought a '72 Volkswagen Bus with a Subaru conversion in it from a '95 Legacy 2.2. However, it has a coolant leak and after driving it for a short while, the coolant overflows (drops coming out). I'm suspecting this is the head gasket that needs replacing. I know you need to take the engine apart to replace the head gasket, but I've heard that it's a common problem for Subarus and every few months or so, the head gasket might go. Do you have any suggestions for me or ways to go about this problem? Here are pictures of the engine... https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e_GthqtEmvE0MtHy5j-x7A4xtIUlqc-M
