Oil pipes? Not really many of them in an Impreza bay. Usually just one from the block to the turbo. There are breather pipes which have oily air in them. But Oil doesn't really go hard. It gets acidic with age as far as I know so should be changed.

If the car has been off the road for two years I would personally change the oil, gearbox oil, rear diff oil, coolant, fuel filter, brake and clutch fluid and maybe PS fluid. The fuel will have lost some of its edge too so if there is lots in there I would drain it and put fresh in but if a little bit maybe just brim it with fresh stuff. Tyres also need checking as they sometimes crack.

yeah your talking ****. put some fresh fuel in it, maybe change the engine oil and oil filter. check the tyres. check the brakes.
