So, every time I start car when cooled off I notice an exhaust leak. Traced it to the cylinder closest to rear bumper on the drivers side. By looking at picture, would a gasket fix this or do I need to replace the manifold? I have never had one apart so I don't know how it is assembled. If a gasket doesnt fix can I weld it? Thanks in advance

 

The tube is welded on the inside to the flange. I have seen a leak like yours on stock headers where somone has grinded the welds down inside for better exhaust flow. Are your headers modified? My guess would be the gasket will not fix this leak.

 

I don't know. I haven't had them off. I kinda figured it was welded Maybe I will scuff it and clean and JB weld it till I can take it apart. Thank you.
