Same thing happened to my 05 Impreza I changed valve cover gasket and it was all fixed
Pros: fixed the problem
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Normally that's a result of a failed spark plug seal. If you have no other problems I would put new spark plugs in it and check them at the next oil change.
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
Oil Filters, I always use OEM Subaru oil filters, I just buy the bulk 12 pack from my dealer.
Pros: use OEM Subaru
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I just changed the alternator twice on my 08 Legacy. First time it went I bought a remanufactured alternator. That was fine for a week or so, then the car wouldn't start. Alternator was bad and I had to replace it again. It took a while to trust the second one but it's worked well so far the past couple months so I guess it's fine.
Pros: worked well past months
Cons: bad after a week
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
My buddy has gone through 3 starters on his crosstrek, all under warranty, because of the auto stop.
Cons: gone through 3 starters

How were the brakes? My concern with towing is the brakes. I have not towed anything mainly for this reason. I find the brakes to be a weak point of the car and the rear pads wear out very quickly, on the 2013 version anyway. I am not a heavy footed driver, no fast starts, no slamming of brakes at lights and stop signs. Keep things nice and smooth, no riding of brakes, no fast corners which would engage the rear brakes more due to the vector control system (whatever they call it). Rear brakes wear fast and overall braking is fair. Your thoughts from a trailer perspective? Thx!!!
Pros: smooth driving
Cons: rear brakes wear fast
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I wouldn’t want a crappy transmission that isn’t fun AND can’t hold power
Cons: crappy, not fun, can't hold power
Vehicle:
Subaru
With the air conditioning shutting off after driving probably gonna need to replace the compressor. Issue with almost all subarus from 2015-2017. And the hesitation when going into reverse is normal, cvts tend to be delayed.
Cons: AC shutting off, common issue
Vehicle:
Subaru
I was a Subaru Dealer trained engine specialist for many years, DO NOT under any circumstances use a non Subaru water pump. All of the aftermarket ones are complete shit, I have lost count of how many aftermarket water pumps I have had to replace because they have all failed within 20k miles.
Cons: aftermarket pumps fail quickly
