as i arrived at work on thursday a large plume of steam began to pour out from under the bonnet of my '94wrx. upon inspection it was the wee black bakelite expansion tank for the cooling system that had ruptured. it was as though the top "lid" had separated from the bottom "bowl" section. the car hadn't been driven hard. only had car a few months and was wondering if this was a common fault?
