4.3 V6 Exhaust Manifold Leak - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are their any common exhaust manifold leak issues to look for? 1986 C10 4.3 V6 has an exhaust leak on passenger manifold/tubular pipes, not sure where it is. It sounds like it is the front cylinders, however, not sure. Are their any common exhaust leak problems to look for? Do not think it is the donut leaking.

thanks,
Les

Look for cracks. Mine on my GMC were cracked. Another member on here said he's had good luck with Rockauto.com manifolds.
