Pathy Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 ive had a passenger side manifold leak for about a month now, my question is... My leak goes away after about 2 to 5 min of driving, does that mean it is a crack in the manifold or does that mean its a broken stud, or possibly both, or on the rare occasion a gasket inbetween the y pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 Most likely a broken stud or two and slightly warped exhaust manifold. The manifolds aren't all that prone to cracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatterHorn Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 yeah I have never heard of one cracking on our rigs ... but studs are a very common thing to break ... it only takes one ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgranch Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I would advise as long as the ticking goes away in a couple of minutes you are just fine. You can ignore it. However if the ticking does not quit, then check for something else. I have a blown motor because I thought it just was the manifold stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
