Bear with me, this is kind of a long question... A month ago, at the time of an oil change, my '01 Outback was due for a new timing belt (at 105,000 mi.), and I took it to the Subaru dealer's garage and had the new belt installed. Ever since, when I idle or after I turn off the car and get out, my engine emits a sort of burning rubber smell. So I took the car back to the dealer and mentioned the problem. He found oil around the head gasket, suggested I might have a leak. I told him that several months ago, another mechanic botched an oil change, mis-installing the filter, which leaked and sprayed oil all over my block. So the Subaru technician cleaned off the gasket residue, took it for a 15 min. drive, checked the gasket again and found no oil leaking. So it may NOT be a leaky gasket, BUT a day later I'm still getting the smell. My questions: Is it possible that oil from that earlier botched filter is still burning off in places? At the time, I smelled it for many days, then it went away. Now it seems to be back. Or should I be really worried about my head gasket? What else could be wrong? Other recent activity: Snow tires were installed two months ago, at which time I needed a realignment. I bought this Outback six months ago. Thanks for any light you can shed on this issue.

I've replaced each of my low beam headlights twice in under 60K and the dealer has told me that type of bulb can't take a lot of bumps...come on?
