leak is located alongside the bottom of the radiator...the guys at Harman Automotive actually spotted it first because my car was getting serviced and they were saying it could be a improper seal problem. that sucks, so gotta go to subaru dealership tomorrow...thanks 2slow

The same thing happened to me. The clamp holding the lower radiatior hose was never engaged. I didn't find out until it overheated. It ended up warping my heads and block. It was all covered under warranty.
