There have been some big issues with older Subaru head gaskets (late
90's).  I'm not sure if their model has the 2.5 with issues, but there
is a whole section dedicated to HG's at the Outback site. I don't know
if Subaru will take care of it, but you might want to read a bit at
the Outback site for some info:
