Here is a similar thread that talked about the same question: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/89-oil-fuel-discussion/25013-oil-filter-use.html My personal opinion is that while the most significant difference between the Subaru OE filters and the aftermarket ones is the Pressure Relief setting (23psid for Subaru) and that many of the aftermarket ones don't meet that spec, that any good quality filter changed at regular intervals 3-5k miles with good quality oil should be just fine. Here is a link to a discussion about the oil filter history as used by Subaru: http://allwheeldriveauto.com/subaru-service-seattle-subaru-oil-filters-explained/ My current engine warranty requires Subaru OE filters for the next 50k miles so my choice is made. Once the warranty expires I am going to use this filter: http://allwheeldriveauto.com/subaru-oil-filters-for-sale/

http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=11587 They don't seem to have a selection for the Postal Legacy. You may want to call them and see if these will fit your car. Likely will be fun to change. You could try taking the banjo fitting to a performance shop and see if they can make you a short pipe to attach a hose to? https://www.subaruonlineparts.com/oempartscat.html Same part number: 45522AC152 is $38 there vs $44 from first place. Shipping not included so check wih your local dealer to see their price and compare.

While it is a Phase II EJ25 that are more susceptible to external leaks than internal ones like the Phase I your description of what is occurring (fluid transfers from rad to overflow) is how my Phase I started acting when the HGs went. I carried around a large turkey baster to move coolant from the overflow tank to the rad after every trip (when enough time had passed to make sure the engine was cold) until I could get the replacement engine (236k on odometer) ordered, delivered and installed. Best way to confirm HG leak is to use an exhaust gas analyzer or a chemical block test kit to see it there are combustion gases in the coolant. If positive, its likely an HG or other internal engine issue. Its usually a cheap test and is a good pass/fail test. Negative test means look for other issues. Positive test means take off the heads and check for bad HGs.

Don't have any advice on the transmission source. Here is a link to the Separator Plate that can leak and is accessible with the engine or transmission removed. http://allwheeldriveauto.com/subaru-seperator-plate-explained/ I seem to remember on some board about a trans filter that slipped down and prevented the fluid from being picked up by the pump, not sure if its related to your issue or not.

If the engine is coming out definitely worth doing it now as opposed trying to save a couple $100 to have to take it all apart later and spend even more to change that $15 seal you tried to save money on. Seals/HGs/Timing Belt/Waterpump with repaired heads means another 100k miles without many other issues

Brackets and stuff may be different but here they show the same P/N for both 2.2 and 2.5 http://opposedforces.com/parts/info/73111AC030/ You could start here with your car info and drill down to the P/N for your car and then click on the P/N to get usage info. http://opposedforces.com/parts/ -
The Engine Coolant Temp Sensor (P0115) can make it hard to start and run bad until its warmed up. Its about $20 from Rock Auto. Plugs and wires can cause the Misfire codes. Should use Subaru OEM wires or NGK wires and for sure use NGK plugs. Guess you have to balance the cost of repairs/insurance vs car payments.

One place to look for parts "where used" info is thru this parts catalog: http://opposedforces.com/parts/ From that link, drill down to the specific part and when you click on the part number it will list what models/years used that specific art number.
