Car: 2000 subaru impreza 2.5rs So i pull out the wire just for no reason, and oil comes out with it.. Dont believe this is normal.. Gasket? Any help is appreciated.. Stuff like is it a problem? Gotta fix it or can leave it? Can it be related to the P0442 code im getting (Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak))? Also, when i am turning i get a grinding like noise once the wheel is all the way to the left... not sure about right but it wont do any noise until it hits the furthest left.. What is that? powersteering related or dif related or what? How do i fix that? Thanks for looking and helping if possible.
P0442 tends to be the gas cap not on 100%. I would make sure it is tight, clear the code, and see if it comes back on... If it kicks back on I would consider replacing the gas cap and looking for any old or worn out hoses in your evap system... I can't comment on the other issues. GL!
AWDimprezal is dead on. I think he actually diagnosed mine over the winter last year. I froze my butt off in the garage, but it only took two hours or so to do the whole job. Valve covers were pretty cheap as I recall. Good luck.
Alright thats cool... what if left untreated for a bit? dont have much time to tear it apart... As for the code, i always make sure its tight but ill tighten and reset ecu.. And let you know.. While i was installing my sway bar(and inspecting the underbody) i noticed a box on the passenger rear corner... Know what im talking about anyone? what is that?
Good luck with the charcoal canister thoes leaks are a p.i.t.a to find might as well just replace all the vac lines
If you dont fix the oil leak, you will leak oil..... It can also cause misfire issues if its bad enough. as for the evap code, you will have a really tough time finding the leak without a smoker. I wouldnt worry about that unless it is causing drivability issues, but they typically don't.
