I think it was 5.99 at Rural King. My local walmart has it as well.

Not in a Subaru Crosstrek.

Good point.

It’s a new bottle of Lucas DOT3, never opened and still sealed. Are there any pros and cons to shaking the bottle before pouring? Thanks.

I’m 51. I stopped feeling young about ten years ago but the thought of saving money and the satisfaction of getting things done right keeps my hands dirty.

I’ll be replacing my passenger side valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals on my Crosstrek very soon. Went with OEM.

Any misfires or check engine light? Or were you just replacing the spark plugs and saw the oil? From what I’m reading online, it seems like most people discover this issue while changing plugs.

It makes sense to do both sides, but from my research, the driver”s side is a bit more difficult so I’m going to wait on that one. Maybe I’ll do it on a day I get the itch.

I have a 2015 Crosstrek. I’ve test driven the CX5 and the CX30. If I were to purchase another car today it’ll be another Crosstrek.

Passed by the local Subaru dealer and got the OE. I’m not doing the job just yet, just want to have it on standby. It was cheap enough.

It doesn’t help the tube seals; it’s for the valve covers.

I took the splash shield off last weekend to do the coolant change and took a good look around everything from under the car. This is in fact the only seepage I could find (in the process of changing the plugs). I doubt I could leave it as is, though. I like keeping my car in the best possible...

That’s what I’ll be using for the sections in the pic.

Nah, I’ll pass on any of those stop leak products. I did switch over to 5w-30 High Mileage from 0w-20 after replacing the plugs, so hopefully that’ll help some. Also replaced the PCV and hose.

I’ve always tried to use OEM parts on this Subaru. Are aftermarket gaskets known to be good-to-go?

I put the new plugs in. Before I did I cleaned the tubes really well with brake clean to make sure there were no traces of oil. The million dollar question on my mind is how long has this been going on? No way to know, I guess.

One more pic of the plugs. It’s the last one on the right.

118K total miles and the plugs have about 60K miles on them.

My heart sank when I saw it. No misfires at all, so I would have never known had I not changed the spark plugs. It's only in one spark plug tube, the front passenger side which is cylinder one. I didn't have the time to replace the valve cover gasket along with tube gaskets so this will be a...

The way I see it, if I need a hose for anything, it’s getting the conventional wash. I’m too old school to think otherwise.
