1st thing would be to check the error code.
As you haven't specified, I'm assuming you have a classic, so try this: Scoobypedia | Trusted knowledge for everything Subaru | Knowledge / Reading ECU Fault Codes
But if you want more help, best to describe what year/model you have, and the modifications at the very least.

Normally with the coolant temp sensor the car is ok when warm, its just when cold its a real pig 
Not exactly sure on the location, normally in the coolant
so would say rad area.

The coolant temp sensor is fitted into the water rail which runs under the inlet manifold from left to right (the radiator top hose connects to it). you will find it just below and behind the alternator and it has 2x wires gong to it.
If you need to order one then it has a part number of 22630AA041 - Retails at 39.11

Do some shopping around for the replacement head gaskets, can vary between 4-800 quid depending where you go and what they do, normally you will need a skim on the heads, and as there are 2 of them thats where the cost is
