You can normally buy those from any local parts store or you could get an exhaust gasket maker and make your own its quite simple alls you need to do is trace your old gasket on.
Hope thatl be of help

You're on the right track. Though I don't have Subaru manuals, I'm sure they use the same wire as the tail lights. Trace the wires to that connection in the back and also the ground wire to the frame.

Pretty common and usually caused by a worn out rear engine mount. This boxer style engine produces left/right vibrations at the rear of the engine. That causes extra flexing at the inner CV boot. Replace the axle AND the rear engine mount and the problem should go away for another 50K miles.

Probably in the early stage of a head gasket problem, Subarus run great even with blown head gaskets, every once in a while the temperature guage will spike and blow coolant out of the overflow bottle, you may be able to detect exhaust gases in the cooling system by taking a whiff of the radiator or overflow bottle.

check vacuum line to heater if vents are open you will get that smell.

Start with inspecting the rear tires for out of round or bulges. Next, inspect the rear shocks for oil leaks, Both of these can cause the thump you describe.

You need to plug an OBDII scanner into the vehicle's port for the scanner. It will give you the various codes, which you can look up online for your vehicle. Some auto parts stores, (Auto Zone) do this for free so you do not have to buy a $250.00 scanner.

not sure how that could be the cause, but check to see if vent valve is stuck closed. Otherwise, see my notes at link below. Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair

Please be more specific on status as of now and clarify your question.

have te fault codes read have the transmission oil changed indicates that there is a problem with the torque converter clutch servo/solenoid or the transmission pressure pump controls

Possible bad pcm. (Engine computer) if you need one call Cam auto computers. They are good.

This actually does sound like the battery is low on charge. A battery which is quite low on charge will still light the headlights and run many other electrical accessories, but will not engage the starter (which requires much more power than other accessories). I would start by making sure that an electrical device, such as interior lights, glove box lights, trunk light or something else has not been left on. Then carefully jump start the engine. It is also possible that the battery might need to be replaced for not holding a charge.

As far as the cruise control light flashing, the light is flashing to tell you that the cruise has been disabled. The vehicle's computer will disable the cruise control from working when certain trouble codes are set in the PCM (main computer), which the computer thinks may cause harm with the cruise engaged. The check engine light may not be connected to the deer hit. I have seen many times when something like this is a coincidence. That being said, the jarring from the deer hit may have caused a vacuum leak. Or perhaps there is more damage than you might think under the hood.

From the way you are describing your problem it seems to me that your fuel pump is in the process of dying. The whirring noise is as if the pump is gasping for life. Your problem sounds like a fuel delivery problem. If you take a preasure test of pump you may find that you need a new pump. Good Luck Friend.
