Some common reasons for a water leak in a 2011 Subaru Outback include a defective heater core, a blocked sunroof drain hose, or damaged or loose weather stripping around the doors. A heater core is crucial because it enables hot coolant from the engine to flow through the passenger cabin, providing the hot air for the heater. A malfunctioning heater core can be a significant problem, especially during cold winter months in freezing temperatures. Repairing or replacing a heater core can be costly, typically ranging between $560 and $930 for parts and labor due to the labor-intensive process of accessing and replacing the heater core.
