It's leaking oil from the left side of the engine right above the spark plugs. Anyone have a clue what that might be?

 

turbo maybe? just a wild guess. i'm not sure what else would have oil above the engine. maybe a pic would help?

 

Well it's coming out of the engine lol I'm
Curious on what could have messed up in side to cause oil to leak out

 

It could be the o rings around you spark plug boots, when you pull the plug boots out are they covered in oil? Agreed that a pic would help.

 

Could be your oil pump going out

 

Hmmm I haven't pulled the spark plugs out yet i just noticed it yesterday so tomorrow I'm going to take pictures and check the spark plugs

 

Valve cover gaskets? How many miles you have? if around 100k-120k they generally need to be replaced. Mine have been leaking for a bit getting it fixed soon.

 

I'm almost 100% sure it's either that gasket between valve cover and that plastic breather or just your valve cover gasket.

 

It has about 132k on it.

 

valve gasket is your best bet

 

And that's something I'm going to have to take it to Subaru to get fixed because the auto shops around here don't have anything

 

Where are you located. A suburu dealership will rape you for this. I would recommend one of the local shops of you are in nor cal.

I was immeadiately thinking valve cover gasket as well but it's so hard without seeing the leak.

 

It seems like everyone's from the west coast on here lol I'm from Delaware and this small state has nothing for shops

 

If you are mechanically inclined, just do it yourself. I did mine and it was very easy.

 

Well i dropped 2.5 inch tein lowering springs in it today so maybe next ill rip the engine apart
