Hi, fairly new to the forum, well new to posting anyway...

I've recently bought a 98 classic UK wagon and its got the fairly common leaking rocker gasket. I believe the symptoms of this are a burning oil smell through the vents when stationary?

I was just wondering how much it would cost to have the gasket replaced?

I got the car pretty cheap (IMO), and its in fairly good condition, but I'm slowly working my way through the little niggles to make it that little bit better. I'm massively fighting the urge to do power modifications, but its a lot of money plus I think it deserves to remain OEM, and just keep maintenance kept on top of

Cheers

I paid £110 per side for genuine Subaru gaskets to be fitted. You can get much cheaper ones but I've heard they're not worth fitting and will probably leak again.
I'm in the same position, bought a cheapish 99 wagon and working through all the little problems.

Rocker covers are pretty common as they get older, my type R needed both doing when i got it.Best bet it get a specialist to give it a once over and price up what needs doing.

Any specialists near stoke on Trent at all? I know Scooby clinic are out chesterfield way? Not a million miles away if there's no one closer

Import car parts,£50ish a side using genuine gaskets....
I've just done my near side one,took about an hour to do.
