Sisters 2006 Subaru Impreza Outback normally aspirated 4 cyl engine is seeping oil at the base of the head/cylinder interface. 140k miles. No mingling of oil and coolant observed. Car runs fine.
These cars are known for failing head gaskets. Pic of the seepage below.
Take action now or is there breathing room left as to time?
Thinking thru this, I should pressurize coolant system to see if it holds......Compression test, too.
Head gaskets are a big job on a not so valuable car but if it needs done, this is the time before bad things happen.
