You don’t mention the kind of leak that I have. I have a 2008 4Runner V/8 with a significant exhaust leak at the manifold. I’ve seen online that it’s a common problem with Toyota’s. I can’t tell if the gasket is bad or the exhaust manifold is cracked. Do you have any suggestions? The dealer wants $1400.00 per side to fix it.
