The small tank adjacent to the air filter is the header tank and this should be full of coolant. The small, semi-clear, tank alongside the radiator is the overflow and this should be filled to somewhere between the marks on the side

The workshop manual is really helpful and specifies SUBARU coolant, I use silkolene ready diluted for ease, but as long as it has a rust inhibitors and is suitable for alloy engines you should be fine. I can't recommend a specific one but just don't by Tesco value stuff
