Overheating problem?
 
I brought a 94 impreza wagon wrx on Friday, Had no problem on the 65 mile trip home.

Then when i was driving it to my Brother's house on Saturday morning i noticed the temp rising before there was steam coming from the passenger side headlight.

I left the car at my brothers to cool down and then checked and there seemed like no leaks so filled up with water and burped the system and all seemed fine until today when it has happened again?

I hope its not the head gasket any ideas? :brickwall

theres not really anyhthing behind the passengers headlight mate to cause this other than the bottom rad hose may give that illusion, have you checked the pipe and clips?

No need, you've already described the symptoms of a classic Subaru head gasket failure....... Sorry.
