Hey i was going over my engine, and i came across the exhaust manifold, and i noticed there was a bolt missing. The engine is a 3.1L, all stock. The exhaust manifold leaks, on the drivers side as far as I know. Could this be because of this bolt, or would i need exhaust manifold gaskets? Thanks for any help.

if it has been leaking at the gasket you need new gaskets as the hot gases burn the gasket

 

I was under the impression that stock iron manifolds don't use gaskets. Simple solution is to put a bolt in, tighten it up, and see if it stops leaking....

 

Thanks guys. Will give this a go tomorrow.
