7 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoWhen should I be concerned with an oil leak in purchasing a used car?
I'm looking at a 99 Subaru Outback, w/108k miles for $5000.00.

I undestand that they operate on the principle of compression- the vanes compress air, fuel is injected and ignited = boom. My question is this- water is incompressible, so how does a heavy rain affect a jet engine?
