Your leak could be a from a hose or line but more than likely it's from the
steering rack.  You'll have to inspect to be sure.

I would remove the power steering belt from the pump until the problem is
fixed else you'll ruin the pump due to lack of fluid.

As to the Subaru questions ... I can't help you there, but my best guess
would be that you'd use the Subaru's pump and brackets.
