From spooky noises in your engine to foul smells coming from the hood, know the scary signs that may be lurking within your Subaru.

Smells: Anything from burning oil or burning metal smells from the radiator can indicate an overheated engine. Serious engine damage can occur with frequent overheating, so make sure the devil, himself, isn’t hiding under your hood.

Burning smells (along with other symptoms) can also indicate transmission problems and/or failure, overheated brake pads, a worn clutch, and more. Food smells, like rotten eggs, may be your catalytic converter, and smells of maple syrup may mean your have a coolant leak.

Strange engine noises, different handling than normal, or reduced gas mileage…these don’t seem like major issues for your Subaru, right? So you put them off for now. Bad mistake. These are all signs of common problems drivers tend to ignore, that may cause more damage in the long run and have you shelling out more money to repair.
