Service tech says head gasket is leaking. Office lady says it's oil. I don't see oil (maybe its just starting to seep).
Anyway its pretty bad when a car blows its head gasket after only 52K miles. Estimated cost to fix is $2100.
Reading various blogs / complaint forums etc it seems like an issue that's more prevalent with Subarus than other manufacturers. One person even suggested that it may be due to the horizontal orientation of the cylinders in the boxer engines. I heard that Oorsches also have boxer engines - do they also have head gasket issues like this - or is it something Subaru is yet to figure out?
