Hello :-)

 

I have just got myself a 1999 Subaru Legacy estate 2L for my first subaru - ive always liked them but never though i could afford them. Ive started off with the small 2l non turbo.

 

ive noticed now ive owned the car for a week that im getting oil on the bottom of the sump - i wiped this off and notice it keeps coming back, i thought it would be the seal first but then i noticed at the back of the engine block - looking into the bonnet left hand side i saw oil coming from a round thing by the rocker cover and i dont know what it is??? please help

Have you replaced any seals as of yet? 

[Dazzla_Legacy]

Not as of yet, not myself. I don't know what the thing is pictured

[classic mica]

Lol, neither do I. Sure someone with more knowledge will step up.

U need new rocker cover gaskets!!..about 120 fitted..iv had 2 sets go on my wrx..always drivers side cover too???wierd.

Drivers side goes because it is closest to up pipe. It takes all the heat and goes brittle.

Thought that;)..it dont lose much oil..just smells like a banger&u gotta watch it dropping on the hot stuff
