Leaking head gaskets are common in old Subies.

If you noticed the smoke right after the oil change they might have spilled some oil on the exhaust system. Check your oil level on the dipstick. Top it off if you need to. The smoke should go away in a few days if oil was spilled. Hope that helps! Jim
