We have a 2001 Forester with about 70k miles which had an oil change one week ago at the neighborhood EZ Lube. Yesterday, with only 40 miles since the oil was changed, I noticed after turning off the engine that steam appeared to be coming from the engine. I opened the hood and saw some oil that appeared to have been cooking on the exhaust system. I also noticed that the oil filter seemed to look older than one week. However, the leak is on the opposite side of the engine where the oil filter is located.
Here are some pictures.
Thanks for your reply.
