If your oil is contaminated, might be worth checking the big ends while you have the engine out as they get trashed quickly if there's water in the oil. With the heads off, it's worth considering as it's not a lot of extra work.

hi guys, its my 1999 classic shape impreza turbo, basically the needle went up as it does, once i stopped there was steam, didnt get a big roasting and was recovered to home, i think the paper type gasket has just perished through time..
