Three problems related to engine head gasket leaking have been reported for the 2000 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2000 Subaru Outback, 50,000 miles, head gasket leaking, have numerous complaint here and on the web. Obviously a design flaw, dealership not helpful, of course it's just out of waranty,had reccomended these to many people and friends bought them, now not so sure.
Driver side head gasket leaks, only 70 000 miles on car.
I purchased new a 2000 Subaru Outback station wagon. The engine head gaskets are leaking already. Two separate Subaru dealers and two private garages tell me the head gaskets are going in these cars left and right. There are lots of angry owners on the web. The head gaskets, very expensive to repair because the engine must be removed from the car, are going way too soon!.
