-Everything Kimo and Josh said. I went through the PCV hose, pour a little in at a time, rev the motor a little till half the can is gone, then put the other half in the gas tank. PCV is a better spot as it will get to all cylinders as using the brake booster line you might only get one or two cylinders. There's plenty of youtube vids on it to if you wanted a little more research.

-I must also say, based on this thread, this did not help with the valve ticking. But it will help with other things, performance, gas mileage etc.

Kimo 1,000+ miles!? I've heard like, 300 MAX.. Hmm. I am gonna do 1/3 intake, 1/3 oil, and 1/3 can into my gas and see how that turns out. From the topics you posted Kreen looks like a miracle worker.. Not sure how I feel about putting it in my engine though without some more reading up. I feel like it's one of those things that is awesome for awhile but somehow destroys you.. heard about that with Uncle Scottys Cocktail

Its up to you. You're going to see mixed reviews and both sound good so see what you think sounds best and roll with it. Seafoam says its perfectly safe for long term use like full length oil changes and I think even regular use in oil. Read their faq on their website or search for the seafoam thread I think I copied and pasted all the info about seafoam already. Some say it dilutes the viscosity of the oil too much. Maybe run a thicker oil when you dump it in?

Waterpunp is probably going out. It's dripping into header exhaust flange right below the thermostat housing. I'll take a better look when I get home and get really get under the car. This sucks and I hope it's not the water pump, I can't afford shit right now!

^Chances are, it is. Thats where mine started leaking. I was stupid enough to keep driving it then it blew up on me. Depending on how it self destructs, it can cause a chain reaction, timing belt goes, more money to fix in the end. Or it just could be the hose coming off the housing.

Hoping the housing is loose or something. Don't think it's the lower rad hose. I can get a Remanufatured turbo WP for $40 at O'Reileys at least. The timing belt only has 20k on it.

If the housing is just loose can I use blue RTV seal? or will that not seal well...

-I would go to Subaru and get a gasket instead of using silicone. If the WP is bad, a gasket should come with it. Your 20k belt will have to come off either way to replace the WP.

-Joe

Yeah that sounds good, hoping i've got a leaky hose. If not, then i'll replace the WP and re use the belt.

-Good luck, hope its something simple!
