HELP?!?! Exhaust Lealk

Seems like it is coming from the left manifold area on my 96QM 2.8. How hard is it to get to that manifold & replace the gasket?

Each manifold has a metal tube that screws into it right around the collector.Check to see if the

fitting is loose. Happened to mine once.

Re: HELP?!?! Exhaust Lealk

Just Dave, Thanks. I will check that out. Would that be responsible for the Sharp machine gun sound when I accelerate? Nothing major, but it drives me crazy. I asked a local shop if they can fix it & they said it would cost $400 just to get to the maifold & check it out. Is it that hard to do that?? How difficult is it to get to the maifold & change the exhaust gasket? Can I do it?
