Oil leak on 2000 Subary Forester?

Question:
It has 103,000 miles on it and I have noticed small drips of oil under the car when parked. I took it in, and they said that the head gaskets are bad and need to be replaced. Funny thing is, at around 60,000 miles they said the same thing and we had the head gaskets replaced then. Are they trying to rip me off? What else could it be? What should I look for as evidence that it is the head gaskets?

Answers:

Whats a good home remedy for cleaning the dash and cup holders of your car?

i own a repair shop,and i don't think there's no way that car could need head gaskets every 60 thousand miles i do a lot of work on those cars,and all the ones i work on have a over 100 k on them,and have never had head gaskets put on them,,because i would know,i have serviced them since they were new ,,you need to take it to another mechanic ,and have him look ,he can tell if they have been replaced he,ll be able to see the edge of them,and they should look new,,i think your being taken advantage here on this one,id get another opinion,,because it don't seem right,and the oil leak may just be a valve cover leaking on it,and that's a simple job on those cars,,good luck with it,i hope this help,s.happy new years.
