    Thumbs down Leaky Manifold?

    Hey guys my td5 seems to squeal allot when i put it under load at the end of first and second gears, i first thought it may be the turbo squealing or the waste gate but on closer look (and help from the LR dealer it looks like the exhaust manifold is leaking. Does anyone know if there is a gasket under there? or am i in for a world of pain when i take it off? (like having to get it machined and the like) Or can i just rip it off and seal it up then throw it back on? and is it a good idea to change all the mounting studs for the manifold whilst i'm there? Or am i looking in the wrong spot for this squeal??

    Guys, I thought I had this problem but it turned out that one of the nuts on the turbo housing mounting had fallen off, allowing a slight leak.

    Nah no luck there Frenchie I discovered the exhaust mark over the rear of the manifold where it had spat out all exhaust fumes and left a big stain.
