[Shotimes] Exhaust manifold leak

[Ed Cizmar]

Thanks to everyone replying,
I'm going to check first to make sure the leak isn't in another part of the 
exhaust.
I bought this car about 6 months ago as a "spare for my 90 (199K)" & the guy 
told me it had a "exhaust manifold leak" I noticed that one of the front 
manifold/exhaust bolts was missing, I just replaced it but, the leak is in 
the back!. Now, I need to get it running as my 90 developed a intermittent 
"clanking" noise in the bottom right side of the engine. This, after 
installing a 80mm MAF & LPM about 4 months ago, I'm not sure it's related 
but, it makes me wonder. I have the 90 parked right now & trying to get my 
91 to be my daily driver.

Thanks,
Ed
91 Mocha - Exhaust leak - need to get registered.
90 White - Parked - 199K - 80MM MAF & LPM
