Ok, im having a problem with a couple of leaks and a small knock.
The knock only happense when the car is warmed up, and then goes away after i drive it for about five min. The leaks are all over and i cant tell where but i think maby the engine needs to be tighten up. But if anybody has a different oppinion or might know just what the problem is please tell me. OR!!!
if anybody knows a place in the California Los Angeles area that specificly works on Subaru's . Anything will help.

Can you tell what kind of fluid it is that's leaking? That would help a lot . As for a mechanic, I hope someone out there reads this post but you could always take it back into the dealer if you have a lot of money .

Hi the knock could be a valve lifter that leaks down over night. No big problem.
Oil leaks that come from every where, points to the PCV valve needing replacing. The crankcase is building up pressure, to force the oil out of the seals.

another typical failure is cam cover gaskets or rocker cover gaskets or valve cover gaskets whatever you wanna call them....they arent to expensive..parts atleast....
