Content/ topic3 Replace leaking gasket and Seal
The most likely spot to find leaking gaskets and seals is between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. To replace an exhaust manifold gasket, follow the torque sequence in reverse to loosen each bolt. Repeat the process to remove the bolts. Doing this minimizes the chance that components will warp.
Replace exhaust flange gasket procedures
Step 1 - Locate the Bolts. Jack up your car, secure with jack-stands, and roll under it.
Step 2 - Loosen the Bolts. Once you have located the bolts, you will need to loosen all of them.
Step 3 - Loosen the Exhaust Flange Gasket.
Step 4 - Remove the Exhaust Flange Gasket.
Place the gasket between the flanges. On most flange connections, there's a small piece of pipe protruding on the inside of the flange to place the gasket on, depending on the type of application. Some front pipe gaskets are called "donut" gaskets and fit into a ball-flared exhaust pipe.
