on closer inspection the leak is from the rack. That sounds a very expensive bill to me if I have to replace or get it rebuilt; is there a stopleak type of solution here anyone can recommend?

thanks stants; is the crank sensor near the alternator on this engine? Struggling without a manual to aid me.

Looking for views here; I want to change oil and filter on my 05 Outback. The video tutorials here have helped me work out where the filter is (neat!) but I have seen posts which suggest that the engine shouldn't be fired up after the refill without turning over a few times (300 is mentioned...) in order to prime it and protect big ends, etc. Is this neccesary/helpful? The tutorrials don't mention it. Mine has done 107k so is relatively young. I have also noticed a very slight oil leak, nowhere near the filter area; haven't had the drip pan off yet, but any areas I should check first for possible leaks? It's very minor, never seen a drip on the floor. This car is just about perfect for me and I want to keep it properly! Thanks for help

Hello Bought my Outback from this dealer and I today I see they are no longer Subaru dealers: anyone here know why the change? The Subaru website shows service available in Grantham and Downham Market, and a new dealer in Cambridge but none of these are really local to me. Any indy recommendations in the P'boro area would be very welcome! Thanks Rob
