00:00:00.709 what up guys so you have a probably a no 00:00:05.36000:00:05.370 for 207 Forester turbo Baja or most 00:00:09.91900:00:09.929 likely a WRX and you have an oil leak 00:00:14.41900:00:14.429 and you're trying to figure it out well 00:00:16.82000:00:16.830 this video is gonna show you how to 00:00:19.70000:00:19.710 diagnose and also show you the basics 00:00:23.00000:00:23.010 the most common oil leak locations on 00:00:25.73000:00:25.740 this engine the EJ 255 is not the STI 00:00:33.68000:00:33.690 engine but the medium of the middle road 00:00:36.44000:00:36.450 engine from the digger X and the 00:00:37.79000:00:37.800 Forester XT most common oily locations 00:00:43.88000:00:43.890 are gonna be the valve cover gasket and 00:00:50.47000:00:50.480 the oil cooler I already cleaned this 00:00:53.86900:00:53.879 thing so it it looks real clean but I 00:00:57.04900:00:57.059 just assembled it so that when I take it 00:00:59.02900:00:59.039 apart you can see the parts easier 00:01:02.92000:01:02.930 because this job a lot of people 00:01:05.66000:01:05.670 misdiagnosed 00:01:06.71000:01:06.720 including mechanics and I'm a mechanic 00:01:10.53900:01:10.549 the oil leak from the valve covers 00:01:16.13000:01:16.140 pretty obvious you can see the leaks 00:01:18.46900:01:18.479 it's coming down here you also have a 00:01:21.77000:01:21.780 half moon right here made out of plastic 00:01:24.31000:01:24.320 when you pull the valve cover off you 00:01:26.71900:01:26.729 want to also take the half moon and 00:01:29.44000:01:29.450 replace it or clean it up and reinstall 00:01:33.77000:01:33.780 it with new silicone I've seen metal 00:01:36.80000:01:36.810 ones available online that's not a bad 00:01:39.64900:01:39.659 idea to go ahead with those the other 00:01:43.78900:01:43.799 very common spot that makes that people 00:01:48.35000:01:48.360 misdiagnosed is or they do a half four 00:01:52.16000:01:52.170 pairs the oil cooler and the EJ 255 oil 00:01:57.56000:01:57.570 cooler as an extra oil stand and I'll 00:02:03.56000:02:03.570 get to that in a second 00:02:06.46900:02:06.479 so on lots of supers and Nissan's 00:02:10.07000:02:10.080 and other cars have this oil cooler this 00:02:13.13000:02:13.140 is this system uses the heater kind of 00:02:17.57000:02:17.580 like a heater hose or coolant hose that 00:02:21.17000:02:21.180 runs all the way over here to the 00:02:24.07000:02:24.080 thermostat and the water pump and it 00:02:27.65000:02:27.660 pumps water hot water to warm up the oil 00:02:31.28000:02:31.290 quickly so that when the car is cold 00:02:34.49000:02:34.500 it'll actually get the oil warmed up to 00:02:39.25900:02:39.269 the proper temperature so it'll get to 00:02:41.33000:02:41.340 the vital parts of the engine as quickly 00:02:44.66000:02:44.670 as possible so you have less wear and 00:02:46.19000:02:46.200 tear on cold starts it's a very good 00:02:49.30900:02:49.319 thing to have it also helps when you're 00:02:52.94000:02:52.950 driving aggressively keeps the oil 00:02:56.21000:02:56.220 temperature stable and helps the oil 00:02:59.93000:02:59.940 from overheating but let me show you 00:03:04.94000:03:04.950 what's going on here this is the oil 00:03:07.55000:03:07.560 filter take the oil filter off and under 00:03:11.24000:03:11.250 here is a bolt that holds the cooler on 00:03:17.39000:03:17.400 that bolt is using a 24 millimeter 00:03:21.05000:03:21.060 socket so you use that to remove it 00:03:24.37000:03:24.380 obviously I already loosened it up for 00:03:27.89000:03:27.900 you and there's two clamps here right 00:03:32.84000:03:32.850 here be careful by loosening that up 00:03:35.83000:03:35.840 take that off and take this one off here 00:03:41.71000:03:41.720 and then you can remove the cooler and 00:03:45.39000:03:45.400 if you have a STI or WX or Forester or 00:03:49.92000:03:49.930 impressive base-model non-turbo all you 00:03:53.08000:03:53.090 have to do is change this o-ring right 00:03:54.73000:03:54.740 here and you're good 00:03:56.46000:03:56.470 aug 2 5 7 & 2 5 3 and all that and a 200 00:04:01.03000:04:01.040 only have the o-ring right here ok this 00:04:08.14000:04:08.150 or ring comes off pretty easy 00:04:10.89000:04:10.900 see 00:04:12.78000:04:12.790 there it is what happens is it becomes 00:04:16.65000:04:16.660 flat or relaxes over time and then the 00:04:19.68000:04:19.690 oil high pressure will start leaking out 00:04:22.46900:04:22.479 and onto the ground the replacement part 00:04:26.78000:04:26.790 is here we go this is the replacement 00:04:38.10000:04:38.110 part and this works on the Nissan I 00:04:42.33000:04:42.340 believe as well a lot of these stones 00:04:44.46000:04:44.470 use the same part so that would be for 00:04:50.46000:04:50.470 this okay the second part that a lot of 00:04:55.46900:04:55.479 people don't realize on this engine just 00:04:59.31000:04:59.320 specifically is there's two more o rings 00:05:02.85000:05:02.860 in this car 00:05:04.26000:05:04.270 one can cause a leak one extra o-ring so 00:05:07.56000:05:07.570 you have two total are three total o 00:05:11.10000:05:11.110 rings and two very vital ones so we take 00:05:16.17000:05:16.180 there's gonna be ten millimeter bolts 00:05:17.90900:05:17.919 holding this on and we move this like 00:05:22.14000:05:22.150 this this is going to need a little bit 00:05:23.76000:05:23.770 of prying wiggling back and forth to get 00:05:25.43900:05:25.449 it off and and you can see this part 00:05:31.56000:05:31.570 this is the oil stand adapter there's an 00:05:34.56000:05:34.570 o-ring right here see that o-ring 00:05:38.70900:05:38.719 okay that arrangement is this right here 00:05:44.39900:05:44.409 and this is the part number okay 00:05:50.55900:05:50.569 eight six or eight zero 69 my favorite 00:05:54.87900:05:54.889 number and then you replace that guy and 00:06:00.89900:06:00.909 then there's another o-ring right here 00:06:05.01000:06:05.020 this is another one that leaks see 00:06:15.14900:06:15.159 and that one gets flat - and I think 00:06:20.80900:06:20.819 Subaru was like whoops when they 00:06:23.51900:06:23.529 designed this one because yeah not the 00:06:27.60000:06:27.610 best not the best design in the world 00:06:35.20900:06:35.219 okay under that is another fine 00:06:41.41900:06:41.429 attachment the base you get a 22 00:06:45.92900:06:45.939 millimeter 00:06:47.48000:06:47.490 actually it's 21 millimeter and you 00:06:52.25900:06:52.269 remove this final nut looks like that 00:07:00.06000:07:00.070 and you take that piece off now you 00:07:03.96000:07:03.970 finally get to the bottom of everything 00:07:06.11000:07:06.120 there's an o-ring right here and that's 00:07:09.09000:07:09.100 the same part this part right here 21:37 00:07:14.82000:07:14.830 oh that's the same part as what we got 00:07:19.47000:07:19.480 down here okay 00:07:21.33000:07:21.340 this one in this one are the same so you 00:07:24.45000:07:24.460 need 200 rings so you need two of these 00:07:35.00000:07:35.010 one of these 00:07:40.72000:07:40.730 and one of these to complete the job so 00:07:45.64000:07:45.650 a total of four gasket o rings that is 00:07:52.39000:07:52.400 pretty intense huh 00:07:55.12000:07:55.130 the newer car newer block doesn't have 00:07:58.33000:07:58.340 this from the number one and the older 00:08:02.71000:08:02.720 the different blocks have just the 00:08:07.14000:08:07.150 cooler sitting straight like this guy 00:08:12.27000:08:12.280 it's just right on top so it's a lot 00:08:15.64000:08:15.650 more simple I only need one and that one 00:08:18.82000:08:18.830 that you need is this one let's put this 00:08:22.78000:08:22.790 back together 00:08:28.15000:08:28.160 okay 00:08:31.41000:08:31.420 and you'll notice has a little peg 00:08:33.39000:08:33.400 sticking out 00:08:35.10000:08:35.110 [Applause] 00:08:38.14000:08:38.150 so the peg is gonna sit right here 00:08:43.56000:08:43.570 resting this way see 00:08:49.86000:08:49.870 it's gonna go underneath that little 00:08:51.63000:08:51.640 webbing 00:08:56.07000:08:56.080 that keeps it from spinning and we 00:08:58.14000:08:58.150 tighten it down 00:09:01.57000:09:01.58000:09:10.85000:09:10.860 okay it's all tight now 00:09:15.21000:09:15.220 I tightened it off camera cuz trying to 00:09:18.50900:09:18.519 do this by myself 00:09:19.75900:09:19.769 it's not easy one hand filming 00:09:29.98000:09:29.990 okay that our ring is in now should 00:09:33.73000:09:33.740 seated correctly it's all clean okay 00:09:42.09000:09:42.100 little ring 00:09:48.28000:09:48.290 so still saw I'm gonna change 00:09:59.84000:09:59.850 this one 00:10:02.12900:10:02.139 probably want to put a little 00:10:07.40000:10:07.410 before you put it in 00:10:18.44000:10:18.45000:10:21.25000:10:21.26000:10:29.61000:10:29.620 crusher 00:10:39.65000:10:39.660 just when I'm a little worried about 00:10:46.80000:10:46.810 just want to make sure seats properly 00:10:56.22000:10:56.230 this one push with a little bit of Lube 00:10:58.62000:10:58.630 push it in and kind of make sure it's 00:11:01.71000:11:01.720 flat and very gently wobble it around 00:11:06.15000:11:06.160 here until it's saying you don't want to 00:11:08.94000:11:08.950 force it because the o-ring can pop off 00:11:10.77000:11:10.780 and get cut and then it won't seal you 00:11:17.55000:11:17.560 put all the little bolts in here I'm not 00:11:22.17000:11:22.180 gonna bore you with that so I'm gonna 00:11:23.69000:11:23.700 skip to the chase and now it's all 00:11:27.06000:11:27.070 installed with the new bolt with all the 00:11:28.62000:11:28.630 bolts and putting this one back in 00:11:43.09000:11:43.100 and there's a little step right there 00:11:49.48000:11:49.490 in the middle and sky it's gonna be set 00:11:52.54000:11:52.550 right there so it doesn't spin bolt back 00:11:57.69900:11:57.709 in here 00:11:59.16000:11:59.17000:12:04.49000:12:04.500 and tighten that down and install these 00:12:08.44000:12:08.450 hoses in the clamp and this hose here 00:12:11.90000:12:11.910 and the clamp and we're good to go and 00:12:16.18000:12:16.190 I'm also going to change this valve 00:12:18.71000:12:18.720 cover gasket and also the o-rings inside 00:12:23.51000:12:23.520 here but you can see how this could get 00:12:27.95000:12:27.960 misdiagnosed people will think the head 00:12:33.47000:12:33.480 gasket is leaking or this pipe is 00:12:38.30000:12:38.310 leaking but it's not this is actually 00:12:40.22000:12:40.230 pressed into the head and I guess it is 00:12:44.69000:12:44.700 fine it's not leaking yeah go ahead and 00:12:52.63000:12:52.640 be smart and get all all four of those 00:12:56.48000:12:56.490 o-rings and change this part yourself 00:12:59.51000:12:59.520 you can actually you could do this 00:13:00.56000:13:00.570 yourself on on the on the ground on some 00:13:07.31000:13:07.320 jacks 00:13:10.02000:13:10.030 and save yourself some money or ticket 00:13:13.05000:13:13.060 to shop and have them install for you 00:13:16.11000:13:16.120 but show them this video on how to do it 00:13:20.07000:13:20.080 because not a lot of people know about 00:13:21.60000:13:21.610 this 00:13:25.49000:13:25.500 so that'll fix all those problems and 00:13:28.11000:13:28.120 that's awesome 00:13:32.74000:13:32.750 alright guys well thanks for watching 00:13:38.61000:13:38.620 please leave a comment you know 00:13:41.35000:13:41.360 subscribe

00:14:06.16000:14:06.170 change the o-rings and the gaskets it's 00:14:07.86900:14:07.879 not going to leak anymore it's gonna be 00:14:09.12900:14:09.139 fine 00:14:09.84000:14:09.850 take some of
