I've suspected that I have an exhaust leak for a while. I did the soapy spray bottle test and found one area of bigger concern. The rear of the exhaust manifold on the driver's side is leaking. I tried to tighten the bolts near the leak, but it still leaks. Can I loosen all of the bolts and re-tighten? Or should I get a new gasket and bolts? My truck is a 2002 Ram with 4.7L. Thanks.

 

Actually I'm surprised you didn't find the rear two bolts broken. Very common. I'd replace...

 

There was one broken on passenger side a year ago. I replaced the bolt, but it doesn't seem to be leaking.

 

I just had my right side done about 2 weeks ago. Rear 2 bolts broken off.
