Message: [QUOTE="Sixfoh, post: 1552020, member: 32072"] Our first diesel, a 99 7.3 did have leaky exhaust manifold(s). Back then we were about the "quick" and easy fixes. Bought a set of dorman replacements. Not even a 100 miles and it blew a 1/2" sized hole out of it. Cheap and poorly casted manifolds gave us a valuable lesson. Anything worth doing is worth doing the right way. Got a set of oem manifolds and havent looked back for almost 10 years. Id put my money on manifolds in your case seeing as how youve done the up pipes already. Try to see if you can pinpoint the tap with the engine running. A piece of paper near the leak will move and indicate a leak. Could feel around with your hand but thats more risky. Anyways. Take your time, get a helper and identify the location of the leak before replacing parts. Those manifold bolts can snap and make for quite the project. [/QUOTE]
