    Where is it leaking from? If cranking down on the bolts doesn't do it, then I guess you have to replace the gasket. On either end, I have metal crushable gaskets, so I get a good seal.

     :iagree:   Need to know where it is leaking from.  If the top, probably going to need a gasket.  If it is near trhe collector, might need a collector gasket.  If it is the tubing or collector itself, might need someone handy with a welder to out a patch on it.      :2cents:     :cooldancing:

     They also have the collector gaskets if you need those too.
