I've got the Subaru manual out and am going to take a good look but I'm not having a good run at the moment with the car! The bolt that attaches the alternator to the tensioner has now snapped buggering both belts! It's held on with a crappy mild steel bolt (all the RAC man had) until the proper bolt arrives so fingers crossed!
Injector for pot No.1 is at the front near to header tank.
They are top feeds so should be easy enough to tell if leaking once you have moved a few cables and things away.
Pot No.3 injector is further back towards turbo.
