There isn't a drop of oil underneath my car, but the bane of my existence has been MF'ing exhaust leaks. I just can't get rid of them. I've got a nasty exhaust leak between the exhaust manifold and head towards the timing belt side. It gets really hot there and keeps melting the corner of my timing gear cover. I've pulled the manifold, had the flange milled, and spent the big bucks on the FFWD embossed copper gasket. Still leaks. Any ideas? Could such a prolonged exhaust leak have warped the mating surface on the head? If so can anything be done about it w/o pulling the head?
I'm getting sick of this shit.
