Keep in mind that the way the Subaru designed the valve covers gaskets are prone to leaking. If yours is a GC8 then it just might be the valve cover gaskets leaking. Old_duwels car is currently doing that until we get around to changing it. You probably thought just spilled some oil onto the manifold.
Also check the gasket between the filler neck and the valve cover. Those also wear out with age and it just might be leaking from there when you put in your oil. Its a simple fix.
