Customer Told Me Her Subaru Forester Was Leaking Oil... Here's What I Found

A customer contacted me after noticing a significant engine oil leak on their Subaru Forester. It looked like the valve cover gaskets had failed, so I organised the parts and headed out to carry out the repair. Unfortunately, things didn't go to plan the first time around after the wrong parts were supplied, meaning I had to come back and finish the job properly. In this video, I take you through the diagnosis, the repair, what caused the delay, and how we finally got the Forester back together and leak-free. Sometimes fixing the car is the easy part... getting the right parts is the real challenge! šŸ‘‡ Let me know in the comments if you've ever been caught out by the wrong parts during a repair. šŸ“ Brisbane | Ipswich | Gold Coast šŸ”§ Tools & Gear https://southsidemobilebrakeservices.com šŸ›’ One-Man Brake Bleeder https://southsidemobilebrakeservices.... šŸ“˜ Facebook Ā Ā /Ā 1au5emcjbdĀ Ā  šŸ”— Linktree https://linktr.ee/SouthSideMobileBrak... šŸ“§ Contact [email protected] ⭐ Support the Channel https://buy.stripe.com/8wM3fp2EH9Ru3E... šŸ’Ŗ Become a Member Ā Ā Ā /Ā @southsidemobilebrakeservice.Ā Ā  #SubaruForester #Subaru #OilLeak #ValveCoverGasket #EngineRepair #MechanicLife #MobileMechanic #CarRepair #SouthsideMobileBrakeServices #Automotive šŸ”” Subscribe for weekly mobile mechanic videos, inspections, servicing, diagnostics and repairs.
