I can hear a rather loud exhaust leak from somewhere in my engine bay (U12 engine), i'm thinking it's the exhaust manifold as i can't feel anything coming out around the turbo or the piping below, has anyone had anything similar to this? and what's it likely to be? just the gasket?

Basically the exhaust sounds louder from the front of the car than from the back of it.

its the turbo or dump pipe gasket or both, I just did mine recently. turbo one was loose, dump pipe one had only 1 bolt in it instead of 5, the rest were missing.. haha shit.

Remove whole exh manifold with turbo attached, easier with radiator out. and remove, re-fit gaskets, etc etc..
