Loose oil pump bolts cause a Subaru oil pump leak. The leak can cause low oil pressure and engine damage due to oil starvation. It is recommended to replace the oil pump gasket and apply thread locker sealant to the oil pump mounting bolts. This repair should be done when replacing a Subaru timing belt.
