Just bought myself a WR Blue 01 WRX. First thing I have done is to change the STi7 BB that was on there with a scoobysport BB. As I was changing the Sti7 BB I noticed some oil where the gasket was. When I took the Sti7 BB off and looked inside a could see what appeared to abe a pool of oil?? I tipped it upside down and none comes out but I am concerned!!!

P.S It looks like the centre has also been de-catted.

Thank you very much

P.S Gr8 Web Site!!

Are you sure its oil? It could be a mixture of exhaust soot and condensation from the cat.

No he's not sure as he doesnt know oil from water,stop confusing the poor little hillbilly with words like condensation and soot.

I think he's been drinking that canal water when out in his canoe.

SOAS. You could always try tightening the laughter shaft though.
