10 W-40 motor oil can be used in your Subaru, with a minor oil leak. The heavier oil will not hurt your engine and may slow down the leak.

If you have an oil leak will oil pressure drop?

Oil pressure as measured by the guage on the dash is usually a measure of the pressure put out by the oil pump and not an indication of a leak or low engine oil level. If you have a leak your best indication of that will be puddles on the ground, on the underside of the engine or a milkiness looking color in the oil (as seen on the dipstick) or in the engine coolant.

Why is oil leaking on exhaust on 1999 subaru forrester?

Oil is leaking from a Forester (note spelling and capitalization) or any other engine because you have a gasket or seal that is no longer performing its intended function. Due to the phenomenon called "gravity", the leak tends to be directly above the affected area, especially if it is a static leak. That is a leak that continues while the engine is not running.
