East side, not far from the Green Valley area. Been here 10 years, and love it. Are you out there on the West side with all those rich folks?

That's what I told em!! I walked around with an attitude for 3 weeks after that. Why? Because 5 months prior they had replaced the P/S pump at some outrageous amount. Why didn't they see a problem then? It was also the last time they saw the 94. I have the 92 there now though to replace the speedo gear. Dropped it off Monday, called them this morning, and twice this afternoon. Did they return my calls?? Nooooooo.... Can't have that, can we?

Please! Keep the P/S pump topped off with ATF. They burn up in no time. I found that lesson out the hard way.

AND COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS, BEEN BROKE NOT KNOWING MY WAY AROUND, NOT BEEN USE TO THE BAD COSTUMER SERVICE. I ALMOST GIVE UP AND WENT BACK, I STILL DON'T KNOW ANYBODY HERE. JUST A COUPLE OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW FROM COLORADO. MY LIFE IS WORK, FIXED THE SVX AND WORK!!!!! I LIVE BY ALTA AND BUFFALO. WE SHOULD GET I TOUCH LET ME KNOW I HAVE E LOT OF EXPERIENCE ON THE CAR!!!!!! JUST PUT ANOTHER 5 SPEED ON IT IN 12 HOURS EVEN KNOW I WENT OVER TO PULL ONE OFF THE JUNK YARD.....

I'm willing to bet it's the PS hose(s)

One way to test is to wrap a towel around the hose and drive for a bit. If the oil is on the inside it's the hose.

I've has to replace the high pressure line and noticed the low pressure line was ready to fall off.

That wallet emptying part. Been happening alot lately. Speedo gear replacement - $1,050. But! They replaced BOTH plastic gears and only messed up my exhaust system in the process!!

Plus We Can Really Spect Mutch From A Car That Is Unique, More Than 10 Years Old, And That Really Does Not Have Anything In Common With Other Cars, When It Works Fine, It Does Not Compare With No Other!!!!!

alright..the ps passed the towel test..however the towel got oil on its outside..as I checked around it appears I have an engine oil leak behind the block near the drivers side..it drips down and hits the ps lines and the drivers side exhaust..I also didnt top off the oil for the last week and a half, and I have a definate level loss..little over a quart..this explains why hard driving on the freeway creates the situation..pushing the engine exploits the leak..I will soon make an appt at Subaru Specialist in Sacramento..looks like I will have the seals done and timing belt , along with a tranny cooler
