It leaks a little up to enough to pool on the engine.. It worries me because it is on the turbo side of the engine with the exhaust which temperatures can reach up to 1500 degrees. The car could easily catch fire. It is a known problem in subaru impreza wrx models 02-05 and has been brought to subarus attention multiple times. |
