Repeat issue with cam carrier seal leaking. First instance was at 24,135 miles, this time it was at 45,204 miles.
Discovered that oil was collecting on the cylinder with oil residue on surrounding heat shields and components. The cam carrier was resealed by the dealer.
Smelt burning oil from engine bay. Brought it in for servicing. Discovered cam carrier was leaking and dripping on exhaust manifold. Cam carriers resealed by dealer under warranty.
Started noticing strong smell a few minutes into driving the car. Ended up being a cam carrier leak which requires the motor to be pulled. Dealer broke torque converter in process. This lead into more issues after repair. Poor engineering from Subaru.
