    hello all,
    i hope someone can answer this fast, but i have almost too good a deal
    on a 2002 Forester with a coolant leak by the timing cover. the owner
    thinks it's a waterpump (which i'm cool with) but i'm afraid it might be
    a headgasket leak. any advice? thanks ahead of time!

    nevermind, i decided to pass. there is a pretty sweet Forester down here for just $999
    but the guy has no knowledge of the hg situation and it may very well be just a wp...
    go to craigslist rochester if interested.
