Just had the head gaskets re-done on my 03 Forester after 125k. Apparently the leaking issue is apparent in the EJ25 built from 1998 - late 2002. I suspect my donk was one of the last to come out with the problem.

Can I ask how much that was? My 03 Forrie may have a gasket gone - originally thought it was a thermostat, but as it did the same thing again, so now not so sure! Going to replace the hoses first,then get some tests. If it's the gaskets, may hassle Subaru about covering some costs, and is no go, may trade the thing in on something not Subaru (alas).
May have some nice offroad bits for sale for people if that happens!
