I recently bought a used 1999 Subaru Legacy wagon. The previous owner told me there was an oil leak that resulted from the oil filter fracturing. This caused smoke to come from oil burning on the hot exhaust manifold. After owning the car for a few days, I had the oil changed and noticed that the vehicle still smokes around the exhaust manifold after driving it. I can also hear oil dripping from the filter onto the manifold. While online reviewing my car insurance, I noticed that this very problem is a recall defect. I followed instructions and called Subaru about this. The representative named patricia said that there was no recalls for this vehicle and quickly ended the conversation. I know this is an issue with this vehicle and need this addressed. My wife and baby ride in this car. The recall # is -98V127000. Thank you.
