Subaru Repair: 2000 Outback leaking oil, coolant leaks, head gaskets


Question
Last fall I had to have the head gaskets replaced due to antifreeze leaking into engine- not covered under waranty since  leak was from radiator into oil and not oil into radiator!
I had an oil change done a few weeks ago and now the car has started leaking oil.  Any ideas what this could be from?

Answer
The most common thing to leak is the oil pump but the car should be inspected by someone who knows Subaru.The head gasket Warranty/recall on the 2000 Outback is for external coolant leaks and only applied if you had the coolant conditioner Part#SOA635071 put in prior to it reaching 60k .Subaru would then stretch out the warranty till 100k .But it sure wouldn't have had anything to do with coolant into the oil or oil into the coolant.When subaru head gaskets go they will either leak coolant externally or combustion chamber gas and pressure will make its way into the cooling system causing the vehicle to overheat and or coolant into the combustion chamber.any of the above conditions would have fell under the warranty as long as the vehicle itself was under warranty.
