I just purchased myself a 2005 subuaru outback from a seller off of craigslist. when i test drove it there didnt seem to be any mechanical issues right up until i hit the free way that is when i noticed the accleration bogging when im switching from 3rd gear and up. once i got home i noticed light smoke coming from under the hood after opening it to see why it was smoking i seen that the coolant reservoir was filled WAY over the full line and its sprayed everywhere. later that night i drove it once more popped the hood again to see that same reservoir now empty. this morning when driving it to work the check engine light was on and the cruise control light kept flashing. I could use assistance in this matter any and all advise is welcome. thank you
