There are other water hoses to the manifold, and to/from the car heater that go under the manifold on the near side, but as you say not that easy to see.
Can you fill it with water and run it and look for spray / squirting water, or a flow down a pipe / block? Possibly better on ramps?
Else take it in to a Subaru dealer / specialist ( delete as applicable! ) and ask them to find the problem. Not worth overheating and blowing head gaskets or worse! Ask for a price before they fix a problem so you remain in control!!
