Started with a burning smell, when having my car inspected, I was advised that I head a small head gasket leak. (my car was recalled and had the stop leak put in it) obviously it didn't work. The leak is worse and I am scheduling an appointment, wondering where the money is going to come from to fix a problem Subaru was aware of, ie. The recall!
