I believe I have a head gasket leak on my '98 Outback (100K miles) - coolant being pushed out into the overflow tank with bubbles when engine is running. No overheating to this point and the engine is running just fine. The dealer estimate was $1000 + if only one head was involved and almost double if they had to replace both gaskets.
The trick is figuring out which one of the heads is the culprit. What is the best way to do this? How does the estimate seem - reasonable or ripoff?
Anyone know of a good independent Subaru repair shop in the Annapolis, MD area?
Thanks in advance.
