After MONTHS of obstacles this EJ25 Subaru Engine is finally ready to go back in the 1999 Legacy Outback AWD. It came in with a coolant leak and oil leak in part 1, we found a leaking water pump. During service we found a seized water pump bolt which broke off during removal. After spending hours attempting a failed extraction in part 2, I gave up and ordered a salvage engine to replace it with. The engine was lost in Virginia during the Yellow Freight trucking company shut down, never to be seen again. Unable to locate a suitable replacement, attempts were restarted to extract the damaged bolt AND stud extractors that broke off in the bolt. In part 3, with the engine on the bench, we were finally able to remove the bolt, but the engine was damaged at the bolt hole and the threads were lost during extraction. During part 4 the block was drilled out and a thread insert called a time-sert was installed. Victory was short lived because immediately after, during the timing belt assembly, the belt tensioner bolt stripped out and pulled the threads. Another time-sert was installed and the engine is finally ready to be installed.

oil leaks on the back of the block can be the rear main seal or can also be the two wrist pin access hole covers. Due to age and milage, check for any kind of leaking around the head gaskets at the bottom of the engine. If there are leaks, the head gaskets should be considered. When doing the timing belt, especially if nothing was serviced yet, do the belt, pullies, water pump, and consider oil pump too. They come in kit.

I'm expecting at least 2 of them to sail past the 300K mark without issue with the third retiring as a parts queen. They are pretty easy to pull the engine and trans when needed.

A scoobie with that mileage and those symptoms means you WIIL have to replace the head gaskets (don't cheap out Felpro or factory only). You will also have to do the timing belt and waterpump. Both of those jobs can be done in situ but it is easier to do if you yank the engine. (I've done over 20 of these). Odds are the oil leak has nothing to do with crank or rear seals. It's the head gasket. You need to ask the customer if it ever got even remotely hot because decking g the heads becomes a must. Subaru recommends replacing the head bolts if you pull the heads due to bolt stretch. I've done it both ways but following factory spec is best. Also the two bolts in the middle of the head are different. The heads on the factory ones are dyed red usually. Be sure to follow the exact factory procedure for retorquing the head bolts. It's an unusual process. Do anything else and you will snap a head bolt (ask me how I know). Pull the radiator/condenser (resistance is futile). The dampener should pull right off once the bolt is loose.

You won’t be changing that oil pan without lifting the engine after undoing the motor mount bolts. With the rear oil leaks you are better off pulling the engine to do a complete reseal. Also, I hope it an aisin timing belt kit. Lately Gates have been putting in Chinese rollers which have terrible bearings, and the tensioner hydraulic piston will break within a few thousand miles. Glad to see you learning about Subarus. They are lesbirific.

I own a 2001 Legacy GT Limited 5-speed, and have since 2006. The car has been so good to me all these years. I replaced the head gasket replacement myself in 2021. Engines are pretty damn easy to work on for the most part. Recently I did a 150k major maintenance including front axles, struts/shocks (replaced with coilovers), ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar end links.. while doing so, got a P1133 and replaced the oxygen sensor. Also replaced power steering pump and hoses. Replaced rear diff fluid, soon replacing trans/center diff fluid and oil pan gasket. Bought two new headlight assemblies and a pair of Lumen G10 LED headlights.

I have a 2004 35th anniversary Legacy sedan with a 5 speed purchased used with 65,000 miles still going strong. My brother had a 1995 Legacy 5 speed that went until the body fell apart. My subie only has 112,500 on it now, but we have been through a lot. A tree fell on it twice and almost totaled it the 1st time and it was resurrected. It has been a very good car to me. The only thing I hated was the head gaskets needed replaced, but that came with the territory. All that said; hello from WV good sir. I hear our Country Roads anthem in the background. Thanks Ray have a great day!

That Subaru is in great shape for it's age and milage is low. I've worked on Subarus for years Most of the time the rear engine leak is from the phenolic PCV cover behind the flex plate. Most times the oil pan and rear main gets blamed for this leak when in fact it's that cover. They sell an updated metal cover that doesn't leak. Yes Subarus are oil leakers. It's much easier to pull the engine so you can fix all the leaks all in one shot.

On these older Subaru's the oil at the back of the oil pan is actually coming from the oil separator cover on the rear of the engine, Subaru used plastic covers and they warp with age, most mechanics mistake it as a oil pan gasket leak, (pull engine to fix, not transmission, can pull engine in 45 mins to as hr if you never done one before)Also the factory transmission pan gasket is RTV, And as other have stated they are prone to Head Gasket failure. Pro tip to get the crank pulley nut loose put on a breaker bar and tap the engine over with the key, it breaks it right loose( as you got it off so easy, i would say someone had it apart before). Also if you ever change the Timing belt on a Subaru, Always use a Timing belt set not just the belt as the bottom pulley on the right has a tendency to freeze up and break the belt.

I had a 2001 that I drove 225K miles before selling it. I had a new timing belt and head gaskets and clutch and throw out bearing at 125K and it had the most marvelous 5 speed transmission that I dearly lived going thru the gears. I rigged it to tow behind our motor home where it dutifully followed along for many miles. We lived in the NC mountains for a few years and our house was up a long winding steep road that was not state maintained but it never failed getting up that steep road in the snow and ice. I sold it four years ago to buy a Jeep Wrangler and I miss the old Subie a lot. I’ve searched for another one but for the life of me I can’t find one with a manual five speed. transmission. I’ll keep hunting.

Two 3/8” 3” long extensions in the wholes on the pulley and a prybar work great too.

Best way to fix this is to remove engine & transmission. Replace all seals. Gudgeon pin access hole plugs should be sealed using high temp thread sealer. Replace the water pump also.

I was a mechanic for almost 20 yrs then became a snap on dealer for 35 yrs but always did my own truck and car work-never owned a foreign car but my last car I purchased was a Subaru-it now has 155,000 miles on it so I decided to change timing belt because if it breaks it's an interference motor-I have to say, it's an easy car to work on-Aisin kit is the best way to go-all the bearing are Japanese made and the belt also and the water pump-people had me worried because they said how you can be a tooth off and screw everything up-as a dealer I was always ordering special tools for shops to hold timing gears in place-not needed--I used clamp type paper clips to hold the belt in place-make sure you line up timing marks before you take anything apart--remove fans and radiator for viewing ease--get factory thermostat-use only metal gasket on water pump-install water pump with 2 Philip screwdrivers-as line up pins-i did whole job in my driveway with cordless ratchet-even the crank bolt I used 1/2 " cordless ratchet like you have--torquing crank bold I used 2 3" 3/8 drive extensions in the pully and held from turning with pry bar--took me 7 hrs but no lift and I'm 78 yrs old so I'm not fast anymore--not telling you your job just offering what I went through- you make me wish I was young and starting out again--.
