Hello folks:
I have a 97 impreza that has a similiar problem that some of you has
described here:
Car runs very well for any short trips or in the city, but once I drive
on highway...say 20 minutes or so, and stop the car in a fast food
restaurant or somthing, I can see smoke coming from under the hood and
it smells like oil burning.
I took the car to the shop and they suspect the oil leakage. After
putting the dye in and check again after 5 days, it seems 99% sure that
the oil is leaking from somewhere in the front part of the
engine...cam/crank/shaft stuff like that....
So here goes my question: if, say I want to change these seals and also
do timing belt and water punp replacement now, how much do you think
these would cost? I am facing this estimate which cost $1277 and this
is not a dealer, just a big repair shop.
Anybody can give me a reasonable price range here? I think i will also
look around and see other shops, will follow up with details about
repairing afterwards.
Thank you so much guys!
