Yeah!! I got it!!! (I hope :smile: ) Today, I made a little test: I sat on the rear seat and a friend of mine sprayed pressurized water to the all points that I was suspicious of like the sunroof, door weatherstrips, rear glass, trunk lid drainages,etc. and look what I've found: I saw little drops w...

Yeah,you're right and we've checked the a/c unit already but it doesn't seem like there's a problem... I also checked the sunrooof drainages but they are dry. I dried the rear and front carpet last evening with a vacuum machine. But last night it was raining again;so what: when I went to the car to ...

Had an idea, is it hot there? Have you been running the air conditioner? Maybe the drainage tube is plugged up & condensed water is spilling out under carpet? Absolutely not,we're having winter here and it's cold and it's raining a lot. And my ECU blew up because of the rain water which leaks i...

I'm assuming your ECU is in the front passenger footwell since you have a 97 correct? When you say right back surface....what area specifically are you talking about? The seat, floor, etc? Yeah,you're right I've a 97 Legacy 2.5 GX Sedan and the ECU is in the front passanger footwell. But as I've me...

Hello everyone, two days ago my subby broke down with all white smokes and gasoline from the exhaust... In the garage they discovered that some injection circuits of the ECM were blown and that's why the engine was being flooded by 2 of the injectors... The responsible of the burning of those circui...

Hello everyone, I really need some ideas from the Subaru experts just like you!! :smile: I own a 97 Legacy 2.5 gx A/T Sedan and a 86 Nissan Patrol 4x4 Diesel. Now; I am thinking of selling those two cars and buy a 97-99 Subaru Forester 2.0 Turbo A/T. In fact I like my cars but; Nissan is an old smok...

Hi, I have nearly the same problem with you... I talked to the service and they told me that the reason was a worn gear (Mine is A/T and the problem occurs generally in D position). They also said that it is not very important, and that gear will have to be changed when it becomes useless after many...

Thanks everyone. I realised that the leakage is from the power steering system, because when I checked the pump oil level, it was nearly "0" ! I added some fluid, but I don't know what to do...

I have checked the oil level, it was ok. I drained and changed it. The noise continues. But I've realized something else: if I drive the car on "3" instead of "D", there is no sound. Then, might it be from automatic gearbox?

It does not change with the vehicle speed or with the turns. It just starts at 80 km/h, stops at 100 km/h. The level of the sound stays stable between 80 and 100 km/h.
Ok, I will try to check the fluid level at the garage tomorrow and I will write the result.
Thanks

It's like a hummm. Thanks

While driving at 80-90-100 km/h on the 3rd gear a strange noise starts from the rear, I guess it is from the diff or something... I checked the rear diff: no oil leakage. The noise stops if I slow down below 80 km/h or if I start driving faster than 100 km/h. What migth be the problem? Worn diff? Br...

Thanks Josh, that will be very useful...

Hi, I am from Turkey, Istanbul. Thanks for your help. At the moment there is not much to do except checking constantly the oil levels... Today I realized another interesting thing: While driving with 80-90 km/h (3rd gear) , there is a strange noise in the rear diff. It stops ıf you speed up to 100km...

Hello everyone, I have a '97 2.5 GX Sedan Legacy on 142.000 KM. with an automatic transmisson on it. I have bought the car a few days ago. But today I realized that there are some "red" oil drops on the oil pan (which is mounted under the gearbox). I have checked the levels of the transmis...
