Subarus of that vintage have a habit of needing head gaskets.
Overheating usually does not happen until coolant level goes below a critical level. The engine is probably using some coolant all the time. when it gets too low, it overheats. Overheating aggravates a head gasket problem. Aluminum engines of today's cars do not tolerate overheating well.
I would look it over good for any leaks. Then, take the spark plugs out. They should all look a nice light tan. If one is cleaner than the rest, it tells you where coolant is going.
Given that it takes a couple of weeks to get low enough to cause overheating tells that the coolant loss is slow. Too slow to show up as white smoke or oil contamination.
