idle control sounds about right as when it was idlling the revs was bouncing between 200 to 2000 rpm. And i only noticed the spitting oil after i refilled the oil as was empty.

Guys ( Gambit and Miggs ) thank u again, even for the bad news. So i think the next step will be take my baby off the road, get a little run around. And pull out my babys heart and get her a new one. I am so gutted, I just dont have the knowledge to fix the problem myself with swopping out her heart. even tho iv had her less than 2 weeks iv really loved driving her, the smile on my face the first time i drove her home, even being a non turbo. Oh just had a thought Wrighting this, Gambit Miggs instead of buying a new engine, would it be cheeper to get it reconed and put her heart back in???

Hi Miggs and thank u and Gambit very much for get back to me so very late, even if it is bad news lol. I put my ungloved hand buy the exhaust to catch what came out. It say black ish brown, smelt of fuel and felt a little like oil. So guys im very skint, i helped a old mate back in the to pull out and rebuild his R33 straight 6 skyline lump 5 times ( drift car ). And pull out and rebuilt escort lumps. BUT never have i even tuched a scooby lump, and as i said we r skint so have to do all the work myself. Have any thoughts how i should begin.

Wow thank u for replying so quick and so late. Yes is a non turbo, me and the wife went shopping and she was running fine ( the legacy not the wife ), but when we went to go home thats when i noticed it. Got all the way home (4 mile drive) and can still turn over, but just sounds like it is missing now, pulled the sparks lots of carbon, cleaned them up put back in, did spark tests too. Oil was very low, was full last week. Topped up oil then turned her over, idle still bouncing between 200 to 2000 rpm, thats when i noticed WHAT LOOKED to be be a lot of oil spitting out the exhaust. No nasty broken metal sound coming from engine. I really like my legacy and want and to to fix her.

Great car loved it, till this afternoon. idle revs all over 200 to 2000, lots of dry carbon on spark plugs, what looks to be oil spitting out the exhaust and power drops and picks back up when driving. parked up now scared to turn her over, really dont want to course anymore damage. Can anyone please help, we dont have a lot of money so will have to do all the work myself, im not a machinic. iv been waiting 14 years to own a Subaru, now iv got a broken one, i have to fix her. Please please can anyone help me. Thank u for reading i am sorry my first post is me asking for help.
