SOURCE: Burning rubber smell from Subaru Legacy

Please have your exaust pipes checked, perhaps a mount is burning. The catalytic converter can make a nasty odor when it is clogged. Check the wear on the serpintine belt.

My car has an oil leak

Its a very long process to change. Fixya limits your posts to 10,000 letters or less, my version of the procedure is well over 25,000 letters long, so you might want to purchase a repair manual from your local autoparts store, or have a shop do the job for you. The info your got is probably correct, as these do spring leaks, and your car is 13 years old.

I see oil leaking from the bottom of my 2001 sabura forester how can i tell whats wrong

Wipe it down clean and watch for the origin of the leak. May need to drive it awhile. Not that many places for oil to leak...valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, oil filter gasket, drain plug, front and rear crankshaft main seals (but these would be from center of engine), timing cover gasket seal...Look carefully, and you'll probably spot it. Good luck.

2002 outback 2.5 liter eng. leaks oil behind the plastic cover plate in front of engine benind pulley. would this be a major seal?

It's the front crank seal. You have to take the timing belt out to replace the seal. The seal is mounted in the oil pump, which is bolted to the front of the engine block. Please let me know if you have questions.

Subaru 2001 outback... oil under the rubber spark plug plugs,is this a problem?

Hi,
The oil in the spark pug hole is coming from a seal in the cam cover.
It will eventually fill up enough to short out the plug. Putting new seals in the cover should not be to expensive. Good Luck!!!!!!!

Leaking oil from the crankshaft seal on a 2001 Toyota Camery 4 cylinder 2.2 liter.

Ok you have to disassemble the front of the engine, remove time belt, remove crankshaft sprocket, I warn you in these engines often is the oil leak by the seal of the oil pump, so I recommend you change the seal the pump and the camshaft and thus warrant you. Thanks good luck comments

Want to know what the 75,000 mile service is on a 2001 Subaru Outback.

i would have your oil filter changed with oil filter, air filter, replace spark plugs, have all your fluids checked( front and rear diff, tranny fluid, coolant, ) normally if you go to a shop they will have package systems with all or most of these items. if i were you i'd call around and see which shop around you has the best deals
