Oil
Its a wonder what a little 10w-40 will do to prevent rust. I use it all over the back underside of my brat. Hee hee.

Thanks to everyone for your responses to my questions regarding the oil leak. I've been on vacation and been away from the board for a while.
We vacationed in Rehoboth, De and I figured there'd be no SVX's there.....WRONG!! I spotted a Claret one on Tuesday and a black one on Wednesday. Ben, Sarabeth is a 5 spd. The weird thing about the tapping is that it hasn't been doing it lately. I'm going to change the oil this week. The oil leak is rather odd as well. It doesn't always leak, but i can sometimes smell it when I'm at a standstill. If it's on a level surface, it doesn't appear to leak. If it's angled, it leaks from the front of the engine. I'm hoping it's a loose filter? I'll have to look for a copy of how to keep subies alive, as I'm sure I'll need it with two of them....lol....

If you can find a copy of that I'd be surprised - it has been on the wanted list for a while at used book sites.
I think there are enough people here with experience on the older models that most questions you'd ask could get answered.

All 3 seals should be less than $20, a new Subaru Oil Pump is about $120 (don't get a rebuilt one at a parts place)if you htink you need one. Since it's stopped pecking, it probably just needed to be run some, I wouldn't replace it unless the pecking comes back. If it is the seals leaking, it will pool up inside the timing belt cover, and it would depend on how it was parked as to weather or not it would spill out of the cover. Sorry I didn't get to this quicker, but I've been busy as of late
