Ok mrmerlin : I agree with you I don't think I have the car hot enough to burn all the condensation,
I am working on the brakes,shock,and ball joints, now so is going to be a little while before I can drive it.
Docmirror:I am going to try that, running with the oil fill cap off because now that you mention it is a lot of vapor in there when I opened with the car running is just dripping clean water.
Pfc parts: In the case of subarus even 4 and 6 cilinders have two gaskets,because they have an horizontally opposed ( boxer engine).
But like I say the car just run too good at idle or at 3000 rpm, cold or hot
Wisconsin joe: is 36 degrees Fahrenheit. Today, huge cloud of steam ,so may be I just have a lot of condensation and haven,t get it hot enough to burn it off yet,I realize all cars steam at this temps. But this car just crazy big clouds, but is the only sign of head gasket failure,
Everithing else check good.
Plugs look good.
Not loosing coolant.
Car is not missing, shaking, or overheating.
The cooling system is not pressurized
Oil is clean at the bottom of the pan when I drain a little.
I guess I keep checking until I can drive it , thanks everyone that reply my post.
