I have a 1998 and I changed the donut gasket between the manifold and the downpipe once and that solved the problem the first time.

The next time I had the same leak from what I thought was the same place.....I ordered another donut gasket and put it in.

To my surprise that wasn't the fix.

My down pipe had cracked arounf the flange and I just removed the downpipe and welded the crack.
