No Jeff Subaru did not use Jaguar technology they used USAF I.E. SR-71 blackbird. leaks like a sieve on the ground but when up and running it is fine. and both look great too.

Now that I think about it, my girlfriends SVX is pretty damn spotless also under the hood. I'm pretty sure that isn't leaking anything either....at least not onto the ground

I don't have any "drip grade" engine oil leaks at all. I have signs of a very minor leak near the passenger side cam seal, and dry sludge in the bell housing (previous owner prolly got the rear main seal replaced when the tranny was replaced) but it looks like it's been dry for a while.

the power steering seems to be leaking near where the steering column enters the rack. I think this is common? it's the only leak under the engine that seems to have fresh oil. it's light enough that I'll at least try the "stop leak" PS fluid. I'll report back.
