Possible head gasket leak

Asked by Guru99C6ZX Oct 08, 2020 at 12:42 AM about the 2010 Subaru Forester 2.5 X

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2010 Subaru Forester. It only has 55,000
miles. Dealer just said it may have has a weeping
drivers side head gasket. Is that even possible at
such low miles? Are they scamming me?

Yes it is possible. Scamming you? Maybe, maybe not. You may be able to live with the weeping for years before it become a serious issue. In the meantime get a opinion from a independent Subaru mechanic. This would partially depend of what is leaking, coolant or oil. If it is coolant use a stop leak like Subaru brand or perhaps Alumaseal and see if the coolant loss stops or slows down. A small oil leak that does not leave a puddle in your driveway is no biggie in my opinion.
