Hey Guys, im in need of some advice here, as i'm freakin out, i drove my car a while ago and gave her a run, 1st 2nd and 3rd, after that, regular driving came into play and i noticed smoke coming out of my Hood Scoop. Stopped and found that there was oil coming out of my Spark Plug insert on my Right Head. What do you think may cause this? Help Please.

The rubber gasket around the spark plug has dried out and perrished , gasket failure on drivers side above exhaust collector pipe very common do a search you will need to change the rocker cover gasket as that will be on its way as well , the two spark plug gaskets and new rubber seals for the bolts , get the kit from subaru not after market one . Clean every thing up using a degreaser then smear three bond high temp sealer on rubber gaskets and put back together torquing up the cover bolts to correct torque . As said very common fault don't pannic.

If passenger side are allright leave them till they go ,not worth doing till then ,they don't get as hot as the exhaust runs away to the drivers side so gaskets last longer . Only use a smear of sealer to help seal , and make sure it is high temp eg three bond due to the high temp.
