They dont have a gasket as such - its FIPG (formed in place gasket aka Sealant).
There is an "O" ring on the Internal oil return pipe from the Oil seperator plate to sump but dont tend to give problems.
Are you sure its not the Oil Pump leaking (backing plate screws come loose or front seal leaking) ??

I have a ( suspected) similiar issue having just bought a 15 yr old MY93 import. Not sure what oil the previous owner used ( it was fully synth though) but when we put it on a ramp yesterday we clocked the sump.
It only drops miniscule amounts of watery oil ( hence the porous issue) - see pics. In the fullness of time I shall replace the sump
Surely others have had this problem before ?

yes quite a common problem on older cars and can be done insitu, subaru now only use 1 type of sealant a dark grey colour in a tube you fit into a skeleton gun which starts to go off in 5 mins so you have to be quick!
