The exhaust leak is located between the block and the header I have a fuged up stud that I never taked care so that side of the header it was with out a bolt and loose , I made a thread on that, long story short I took a look at the gasket and all the upper right corner was all burned up , I'm just asking what would be the symptons in that case: besides low response and powah. Right now I'm still working on my tranny swap and i'm working also on problems like that stud while I have the car on jacks .

thank you
