Did an oil change just to check how things are and no contamination, really weird... that is why I'm wondering if it's common on this engines.

Compared to previous model Subaru engines, the FA20 engine has had very little issues with blown head gaskets, especially in their naturally aspirated state. Installing a blower or turbo increases that risk, but you knew that when you installed it. I think Toyota may have shared some of their technology with Subaru on head gasket design and manufacturing when they partnered, because Toyota and Lexus don't seem to have head gasket issues with engines that they build in their factories.
