I own a 2000/W classic shape UK impreza turbo. Whilst checking the engine oil last night I noiced something strange. What I can only describe as a second dipstick next to the turbo heatshield. Does anyone have any idea what this is for?

Didnt touch it, firstly because the engine was still fairly warm. But secondly because unlike everything else its not labeled yellow. So figured it could be a bit of a bugger to get back in.

I wouldnt usually care, but it has me thinking. Is this something else I should be checking reguarly?

 

It's for the gear box fluid, checking the level and filling it up

It's also the gearbox breather. Busy little bit, isn't it.

 

Also it really smells.. especially if you spill some of the oil in the back of the car!! I think now 2months on after lots of cleaning only notice it on hot days!

Zippy, I was thinking the same. Yes it is the annoying trans dipstick and oil filler hole.
