Re: Oil dripping from the backside of the Intake Manifold / Knock Sensor Replacement

There's a cover on the back of your engine behind the torque convertor called the oil separator plate that could be leaking too and dripping onto the exhaust in that area. It's common for them to leak, especially on '94 or newer when Subaru changed the material on the plate from metal to plastic that tends to get brittle and crack over time. Unfortunately, the only way to replace it is to pull the transmission or the engine...
