I recently purchased a 98 forester L back in November of 2013. I thought I had found a jem! body was straight and paint looked great with no major damage. And with only 117k miles on the clock 3300 sounded like an awesome deal! Little did i know This first impression was just a Mirage. While driving home from West Valley to Ogden Utah "About a 30 min drive" a loud pop came from the engine bay and started smoking. I was thinking maybe the radiator hose had popped off... nope hole in the radiator! "upon further investigation it had been patched with some POS putty/glue. So we ended up towing it home and replaced the radiator. I got it going after the radiator and it was amazing! i loved the car and the way it was unstoppable in the snow! but than I started having over-heating Problems after about 10 min of normal driving. I figured do the Thermostat cause its the easiest solution and cheapest fix to an over heating problem. But still would overheat. I did a bunch of re-search and diagnosed a head gasket problem. I have replaced them now and am having more serious problems now.
