This is a dealer re-call on cars between certain chassis numbers. My sons 03 STi was re-called recently.
The problem is the tightness of the bolts holding a small cover on each cylinder head (ie one each side) On some examples these were found to be loose enough to allow an oil leak. Checking and correcting (If needed) takes only a few minutes.
