Default sr20det exhaust leak help....

well ive got an exhaust leak and its coming from right below the manifold as illustrated in the pic below.... but when i put a jack up under the downpipe to see if that stopped the leak the car started idleing higher. i raised the jack 3 pumps and with each pump the idle increased.

help.... is this something like a vacuum leak? and how do i fix this etc....


thanks in advance

thats where my shit is leaking too haha. i need to stop being lazy and get a new manifold and just replace all that shit.

but i would just pick up a new gasket and replace it and make sure you tighten everything down and use lock washers and loctite
