Hello ateixeria,
 
Yes the mechanic check an auto body shop found some oil leak in the rear of engine. Is it very critical?
 
Anyway, I just bought this '99 Forester and join the Subaru club:) Thank you all for the info..
 
I'll keep updating in this forum for the problems/questions I find on this car while enjoying the Subaru ride:)

We did a clutch in my buddy's aunt's 99 OBS, and found that the gasket on the oil passage cover on the rear of the engine, under the bell-housing was leaking severely, this caused oil to get on the flywheel and clutch. We re-sealed it before replacing the clutch.

Check for that, then. I'm more familiar with the front of the block (O-ring front main seal).

Could also be the rear main seal as well.

Forester Seat Comfort.. NOT! by gherman131313

I have a 2003 2.5X, love everything about it, except the seats. They are too hard (maybe I have a bony butt?).
 
I finally resorted to putting a thick indian-style blanket, double folded, on the driver's seat. Not so bad, but still a pain on long drives.

Rattling noise when accelerating by jbur1

For about the last four months my 2003 Forester has been making a rattling noise while accelerating slowly. It almost seems like something is resonating during a certain range of RPM's while accelerating from a dead stop. It will rattle continuously if I keep the vehicle at that spot which I believe is related to the RPM. I thought it may be a loose heat shield or some other part that has loosened. The sound also reminds me of the noise that a loose fan blade or pulley could make. During the colder weather the noise did not bother me since the windows were closed but now as summer approaches it is getting to be irritating. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what was the cause?

It is loose heat shields...

Factory cross bar set by tifighter

Subaru offers a square cross bar set for my 06 Forester. Does anyone have these? Since Thule is the biggest company making square crossbars, does anyone know if Thule attachments fit on these factory square bars? Perhaps Thule makes them OEM for Subaru?

Nope, Yakima does.

Really, Yakima makes a square bar? Doesn't that go against their code of ethics as all their aftermarket is round? I know they made the round ones for the previous SF, but I'm surprised to hear they do these squares for the SG.
