Go to your nearest Subaru dealer parts department and request 2 bottles of their Cooling System Conditioner. Empty about a pint or so of coolant from your expansion tank (not the overflow tank) so that you can pour in one of the bottles (engine overnight cold). Run the engine for about 3 minutes but shut it off before the thermostat opens. Let it sit for several hours. I leave mine over night. Then drive it over the next week and see if there's any more leak. If so, repeat the procedure. That should do it. You may want to bleed the system a bit after this.
