Thanks for the response, I'll have to have a think about my options, a rebuild is probably going to hurt my back pocket a bit more than I would like it to but I really don't want to sell the car.

Hoping you guys and girls can help, my 2008 impreza wrx sti is causing me issues with the cooling system, if I drive the car like a Doris then I have no problems with the cooling of the engine, as soon as I give it some beans it chucks all the coolant into the overflow tank until there is nothing left in the system causing the engine to over heat. Please can someone tell me if this is the head gasket or not, I don't have any white smoke coming out the exhaust which makes me think its not the head gasket but I could be wrong thinking this. If it is a head gasket then would steel seal resolve the issue and has anyone on here used it in their car, I have seen mixed reviews of the stuff and I don't want to go pouring it in if it's going to cause more damage.
