An easy one that could leak that kind of oil (puddle size of engine) is a loose oil filter.
The filter is accessed under the car, on the passener side of the engine, just under the front bottom cover or tray...be careful this tray probably has oil collected in it...you may be able to fit under the car without jacking it up, just try hand tightening filter clockwise...

Well Its not a puddle like that, its a bunch of runs that are running together. And its mostly on the drivers side, very little comming from the passengers side.

The oil filter is on the passenger side of the motor and since your leaks seem to be more from the drivers side that sounds more like valve covers. And lucky for you, theres a new thread that tells you what seals you need and how to replace them without pulling the motor:

Hey man... I was waiting on a diagnosis from the shop up there before I scrap my plans to work on the car. Have you taken it anywhere to get a diagnosis yet?

Hey, no we havent yet. Should I take it to a Subaru dealership, or will any dealership work? Or should I not go to a dealership at all?

From what I have heard smart service up there is the place you want to take it.
