anyone have any idea where my tcu is located on my 1998 gen 2 outback limited auto. its definitely not to the left of the steering column as everyone is telling me. the wiring goes up and then along towards the fuse box. Am i being an idiot? just cant see it

I'd do the old 'stick a camera in there' and let us see what's there ...

Are you sure it came with a TCU in your model year ?

Ciao, Bantum ..

According to RSR555 it is above the steering column in the same location as the American delivered Outback, albeit on the right hand side of the car.

It is a gold coloured case with 3 plugs going to it.

I've got to ask why are you looking for the TCU?

its giving me an error 24 which i believe is the duty c sol, also getting torque binding , but before i replace the solenoid i wanna make sure there is not bad wiring etc

Yes code 24 is the duty C solenoid. I would be very suprised if this was bad wiring, but worth checking.
