Why would your Subaru Legacy be leaking water from the radiator overflow pipe when its just been serviced?

It does not necessarily indicate a problem. If the cooling system was over filled while cold, the excess will have to escape from the overflow when the pressure builds. This is normal. If it continues after several periods of the engine warming up, it may mean that the cap is defective.

Fitting thermostat on 1997 Subaru legacy?
If your 1997 Subaru Legacy is the same as My RS-B Twin Turbo?, the Radiator and Overflow bottle have to come out and the Thermostat is at the front of the Engine, down the bottom-just to the right of centre, (Thermostat is inside the bottom radiator hose), - My Thermostat just twisted/pulled out, let all old coolant flush out-put New Thermostat in its place, Radiator and Overflow bottle were put back in and radiator topped up with fresh coolant and water, Overflow was filled to second line as it should be, car was started with heater on full for 5 minutes to disperse any air in water - (note) after adding fresh coolant, add water in Radiator till it can't take anymore-to show its filled properly.
Your subaru legacy 2.5 keeps over heating you have put a new radiator in and replaced the theromostat but it still over heats what would the problem be?
Have you pressure tested to rule out a blown head gasket? Does the cooling system build up full pressure and start dribbling into the overflow long before the engine is hot? If so, it could be exhaust gas leaking into the cooling system.

Is your water pump bad if coolant is leaking from the timing belt cover on a 1996 subaru legacy outback 2.5?
Yes it could be failing, but read on.Crawl under vehicle and observe water pump area(where lower radiator hose attaches). There is a weep hole on back of pump. If there is coolant or traces of coolant residue. Suspct failing water pump or excessive pressure causing leakage. Excessive pressure can be caused by failing headgasket or gaskets. If overflow reservoir is slimy and dark,and overfull suspect headgasket.

The radiator should be the same for all 95-99 model year Subaru Legacys. If I remember correctly, the upper and lower radiator hoses can be different, though, depending on the engine (i.e. EJ22 vs. EJ25) or Legacy version (i.e. Outback, etc.).
