Hi. In February I had replace the timing belt water pump and radiator in my 2001 Forester. For the first time today the car over heated. When I look under car there was a stain from a leak. As well, under the hood the seal was wet. I am afraid that this is the head gasket.

Testings would have to be done to confirm if it is a bad head gasket. It could be due to some leakages at components such as hoses, water jackets etc.

Get a pressure test done first.
