How do I replace a valve cover gasket and water pump?
What is your question?
I'm a little new to the Subaru Loyale which has a 1.8l with a 3-speed transmission, I bought it recently and the previous owner had mentioned it leaked oil from the valve cover. I recently had to make a long distance trip with it and it leaked oil onto the exhaust, causing it to smoke, I kept pulling over, cleaning up the oil, letting it cool down. After a long period of time, the engine noise changed, but didn't drop power. I don't want to do any damage to it, seeing as I got it just recently. So how would I go about replacing the valve cover? (Changing the water pump is just because it came with it when I bought the car.)

Do you consider yourself a pretty good mechanic... Got a pretty good set of tools??....You 'will' need both!!... Check YouTube for a video on this, then you decide..... While installing the H20 pump... don't forget the timing belt components on this 'interference' engine!!
