First of all, thank you for great information.
Just reading your thread, I understood about 60% and more
about the problems. Once again thank you for the hard work.

Now, my problem...
I'm having major issues with my SVX, 92, 109k, pearl white, Denver, CO.

First, I had belt noise in the morning and then radiator crack and
leaks. Now, I have oil on my drive way. Do you believe all these
things happened at the same time? Please believe it!

OK, my solution-

1. I locate the problem with belt noise- Power steering pump. Today
I spoke with pump specialist for rebuilding my pump for $90.
Of course, I have to take out the part. He sad it will take about
2 hrs. with 1 yr. warranty. pump specialist, 303-292-6324
He calls, internal leak....

2. About the radiator, I am going to order through the Subarupart.com for
$377. Anybody knows cheaper place to buy? Due to these problems
I need to save money as much as possible. Let me know.

3. Finally, the leak... This is what I'm having problem with. I need your
help on this issue.

As I read through your threads, I now understand it is crank seal leak.

********** Now my questions *****************

Do I have to take out the crank sprocket in order to change the crank seal and Oil pump or seal? How hard to remove crank spraocket? Do I need special tool?
Would you let me know how to change the seal after the timing belt removed?

Also, what parts should I buy for this job?

Thank you.
