Hey welcome. I'm from Minnesota. Sounds like either your oil pump seal or cam seals. Maybe both I'd have them replace them even if they aren't leaking just due to being old. And I'd also have the oil pan pulled off and sealed up with some high quality silicone. And probably have the water pump replaced while they have the timing belt off and what ever timing pulleys need to be replaced. I'd have all 4 replaced myself. Other than that sounds like you have a great car.

Im from Detroit Lakes

Hey where abouts in Mn are you?

Hey everyone, a little about myself I'm 36, truck driver, I enjoy working on my Subaru's and other cars. My first car when I was 16 was a 1988 GL wagon 5 speed. I fell in love with Subaru's then but didn't get another one till I was 33. I bought a 1998 Legacy outback with a head gasket issue so I just put a different engine in. Then I I bought a one owner 1998 legacy outback with no rust and low mileage. It had 163k when i bought it and the people that i got it from are over seas teachers so it was parked in a garage over the Minnesota winters for the last 21 years. And i have a 1996 Legacy wagon.
