Rocker cover gasket most likely. Doubt if it's headgasket as you would have noticed other symptoms. Not a big issue and easily fixed.

you can get them from a lot of motor factors and subaru specialists but i have used camskill a lot in the past and find them really helpfull but you need to usually give the chassis number so you need to ensure the engine is the original one , or at least of the same era but you can tell by the rocker covers and plug holes what age the engine is

i hope this helps

Usually a hg leak will leak internally oil in the water/water in the oil even exhaust gasses in both.
