Rocker cover gaskets best to do both sides to save you doing the same job twice

not hard to do DIY, but very fiddly and akward, get some quality liquid gasket to go in along with the new gaskets as it says in the manual

98 turbo 2000 is a 2 litre engine and will there fore be EJ20 , the EJ25 is the 2.5 litre engine from the later cars.

if its the rockers you will be able to see it weeping out and dripping on the headers, its a common problem and well documented on here. The best option is to buy genuine subaru rocker cover gaskets, wheather u buy from a dealer or a specialst thats up to you.
