hi all-
i posted a week or so ago here on the oil seal thread, my first time.
now i have a legitamte concern. just as an intro, i recently bought a
2000 outback wagon with 61,000 miles to replace a 92 pathfinder that
was rear ended.
i bought the subaru privately and everything checked out mechanically,
all service records, paid 10 grand , everything looks good........
except........ neither my mechanic nor i noticed that there was
water leaking into the back right tail light. not just condensation
on the lens, but a noticeable build up. the bulb socket showed light
to medium rust which indicated that water had settled there for some
time. and the lower part of the lens cover has a 1/2 inch of water
that i can't remove, it's in sealed chamber with no discernable way of
exit ( or adding goldfish)
i don't know if a new lens cover will stop this from happening. is it
leaking in from the tailgate channel? has anyone had this, seen this,
or heard about it?
help !!!!!!
thanks
