I've got an '08 forester with leaky headgaskets(big surprise). It doesnt overheat and theres no gunk on the oil cap, but the coolant in the resevoir is murky as shit and i lose a few ounces every month or two. My question is how long can I let it ride without fucking something up?
106k miles btw

Do a cylinder leak down test
I don't think there is any exact answer to how long this car can last until it completely break down.
1/ Change oil and coolant. It can help for a while.
2/ Change this head gasket.

My '02 forester has had this for like 3 years cause I'm fuckin lazy and nothing has gone wrong yet.
You should really change the gaskets. Look on NASIOC or whatever for the best gaskets and get ARP studs.

Why would someone purposely pick the forester to rally over the impreza?

Probability didn't have the choice.
