Leak by Louis li, on Flickr
So following up... my leak is different.
After taking it to an independent Subaru Shop - the 2 sources for my leak are the head gasket or the injector. Mine appears to be spray leaking under pressure.

I'm not versed enough with the FA20 motor to know all the oil leak spots.

Given where yours is on the motor. It's hard to fathom a timing cover leak on top of the motor as I don't *think* the timing cover has that much oil pressure... Enough to push oil upward anyway.
