    it runs fine no loss in power, oil preasure is great, not over heating at all i cant figure it out and i dont really have the time to just tear it apart cause its my daily driver but im going to get into it thursday while im off all day and see what i can figure out...

    its probably just a exhaust manifold... or a exhaust manifold gasket... be sure to be easy when taking the bolts out of the manifold .. not to break the bolts off... and i would reinstall new bolts..
