Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Keep on topping my oil every week. What can cause it's unusual ? Oil is very low, finding
leaks. Puddle of fluid on the engine and it is hot, the fluid. So that makes me think it is
the engine oil leak. Am I right?

Sounds right, where is the leak located on the engine?
Is it over to the side of the engine or located more central on top of the engine?
let me check into a couple things and see if I can find an idea on where it'd come from.
I also just ran a carfax on my car, and guess what? It was Subaru where I purchased my car who last changed the oil in July 2013. They can't get away from this responsibility now when I show them this paper. Just hate being lied to:(
I know what you mean, when I bought my last car I had to replace $600 in parts within the first 2 months, hazzards of buying a used car unfortunately. Well there's nothing I can think of that should be causing oil to pool on top of the engine.
yes sir, it is on:) I am a lady:) but always have a few guys backing me up here concerning my car. Still wondering where the heck is this liquid comes from if not a hose from the power steering then that goes right over it (engine)
Keeping my fingers crosses that I don;t have to buy lots of parts for 20k car end of October purchase. Will keep an eye on this new* baby and let you know what's up. I really hope to call Subaru a good reliable brand.
They generally are a good brand, they've had a few flaws here and there, but I'd trust any of my Subarus over any of the other cars I've owned (Toyota or Jeep).
Im looking to buy a 2011 Subaru Forester and am worried about oil consumption, and the head gasket problem as well as the timing components. Should I be worried? It has 97K miles on it and has only had two owners. Its also a 5 speed.
GuruX3P1Z - I have a 2011 - original owner, have had the head replaced twice and seasl another 2 times. This seems to have finally stabilize and Subaru took care of everything 100%. This being said, I now have 170k miles on the car, and no consumption issues any longer. I got 300k out of my last Toyota, will get that out of this car hopefully as well. The issue are real
