Colt9000 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I have a mystery oil leak on my 1994 subaru legacy wagon. It seems like it is comming from the timing cover I can feel a little piece of rubber sticking out in the spot I circled but there is oil everywhere. I did try some of that UV oil dye and it seemed like it was in that spot a little on the filter and all over the oil pan. Any ideas would be awesome.

twisty Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 first thing i thought was "why does he have mystery oil in his engine?" probably the cam seal there. easy peasy repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLlegacy Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes it seems to be fairly common, there is an updated seal for the cams as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjpetty64 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Attack this before you end up maranating your timing belt in baking oil. My timing cover appeared the same about a week ago. did the oil pump and crank seal in mine. Bought cam seals but didnt need them. Oil pump has one O ring, which seemed ok and my crank seal dry, cracked and pissing oil. Now im all good... as far as an oil leak goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
