Two Hoses to check....

 

Both of them spray to the top of the motor.

 

One is the PITA hose. Located on the top of the motor from the thermostat to the top of the motor.. if its the one thats bad plan to spend a good portion of the day to figure it out.

 

Next one would be the 90 degree hose coming from the water pump to the pipe that goes under the intake to the heater hose. That one is a pain as well but not as bad.

 

Then check to make sure that the radiator isn't leaking and all your clamps are tight.

 

Believe me I killed two turbo motors because of that I no longer own the car that made me fall in love with Subaru.
