Yup... Someone may have added some oil to the cooling system by mistake.
Oil in the cooling system is vertualy un heard of in Subaru's... Certainly on a car that is only 2 yrs old!!
At least you have the piece of mind that Subaru will be paying the bill, as if it is the engine at fault, then it could run into thousands.

i thought i had oil in my header tank. it was a pinky brown paste (i had pink coolant). The cap would get covered in the stuff very quickley and all the pipes and expansion bottle was discoloured. turns out i had used an organic coolant from halfords by mistake. i changed the coolant to a non organic and the pink paste has gone.
