We bought our Subaru Impreza with 119. 000 miles on it. The motor leaks oil around the passenger side head gaskets. Ours blow up. Warp the heads in another. We have done had 5 motors put in it, n they all do it. This last motor does it but not as bad as the other ones. The warranty company on our Subaru said they get alot of calls about this promblem.
Oil leak started, and was pooling on top of engine. Took car to get repaired, was told gasket would need replacement. Upon starting repairs, it was discovered that heli-coil had been over torqued supposedly during installation and due to over torquing, had become stripped resulting in a loose bolt and oil was able to leak out. The failure caused oil to leak out at a catastrophic rate, which could potentially cause engine fire and/or damage to catalytic converter. Old coil was taken out, threads came out with it (demonstrating over torquing), and new coil was installed. Threads from coil are available.
