    At 1:10 those metal thingys are for variable valve timing. The part with leaky o-ring is (exhaust) cam angle sensor, there is also intake cam angle sensor at top (can be seen 1:06 ).

      Thanks for you info on the cam position sensor, I need to replace the RH exhaust one, or at least see if I have a leak causing interference in the electrical connector leading to a P0017 (Hopefully nothing more).
      And correct on the VVT pieces, at least one of the two round metal things on each side are your oil control valve solenoids. Subaru had these failing prematurely on some 2015 WRX's and updated them for the 2016's. I believe there was another update in 2017. Something to pay attention to.

    Po302 on my 2006 Subaru sti did all swaps , compression and leakdown test, smoke machine vacuum leak test. Now gonna test and clean the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors

    MARK, get some wheels and fall in love with the car all over again. Ditch the Header idea, save the pennies.

      Capp i totally agree!! Headers should be nicknamed headaches. Rims won’t need any maintenance compared to headers. The power and sounds is always nice but gaskets and keeping bolts tight, start to get annoying after a while. That’s any aftermarket part for ya but headers are hard to reach.

    Mark - find a Harbor Freight and get another set of O-rings I think another black assortment should only be about $10 - you may not be able to get the stock O-ring without the sensor. I think the sensors are cam position sensors - I had one go out in my XV and the car wouldn't let me use the cruise or rev past 3500 RPM - I'd be careful with it hitting the ground - if memory serves they run about $60-80 each...

    All the bolts would strip out and I'd regret it immediately(returning the car to stock) , dude that was my first thought lmao. Thanks for showing where the sensor was and revealing the big oring was the issue. I'm getting the p0011 and the p0016, well I havent got one or the other like once a week. I'm gonna change my oil even though I'm only at 800ish miles, I have been running e60 and driving it hard.

    My 2015 same sensor was leaking. Oil dripped on hot exhaust pipe. These o-rings have tight tolerances so ask Subaru to order you OEM, they are $3.20. What’s happening that particular sensor gets most thermal heat from the pipes. My leak went away, buy a Subaru o ring.thanks for your past vid, you saved me some money.

    I just got a check engine light and say the code p000a. Intake cam 1 (RH) Position Slow Response. Is this the same sensor you are showing?

    Hi! Were you able to get a gasket from Subaru? It appears they only sell the whole sensor for my Subaru’s engine (2008 Legacy GT)

    Headers would be amaaazzziiiiing, but I can empathize with you on the headache it would bring. Looking forward to see if you figure out the oil color mystery. Maybe ethanol use?

    Are you still running e blend? I have killer bee headers but i likely will need to go ewg setup once on e. Spring problems along with other issues arising are keeping me from it. O yea and the hefty tuning deposit

    Hey man, was this leak spewing up to the oil filter? Or just dripping down? My oil is leaking onto the same place on the debris shield but it’s also kind of spewing everywhere lol

    • @LastHumansGarage
      @LastHumansGarage  4 роки тому

      naw i dont think so. the oil sits in bottom of pan. you might loose a tiny bit, but not much. i cant rememeber where the lower one is. this was years ago.
