could be all sorts of different things!
I would lean towards something common(Given the age of your vehicle)
something like strut mounts, or possibly control arm bushings. depending on the loudness of the noise

When going over bumps it moves all over the road. Front end goes all over the road. at 60 mph the car shakes an moderate oil leak.

These sounds like something is going on underneath the front of your subaru. The usual suspects will be the arm controls, stabilizers even axles, let a mechanic look at it, sounds dangerous. thank you!

Truck has clunking sound when driven on rough road or bumps 92 ford 2 wheel drive 302 super cab

Is the clunking form the body reaction to the bumps or is through the transmission. What ever sounds like some rubber is missing. Look at frame to body mounts, spring to frame mounts and anti roll bar mounts, basically anything that isolates something that moves from something that should be solid. On the transmission look at rubber prop couplings and universal spiders along with gearbox and engine mounts. Finally check the shock absorber mounts for wear
