manifold leak
I have a small exhaust leak coming from the manifold. Its leaking from where the manifold joins the down pipe connecting to the cat. Is it possible to make a cheap repair to get me through christmas because I was planning on buying a replacement after market manifold in the early year new.
Cheers.

either a new gasket, or some hi-temp gasket silicone. Used it on my old 106 to pass the emissions test because i had a leak and was far too lazy to get a new gasket.
