I replace the Gasket with sealant tie down the pipe to the branch and a mount later the pipe leaks at the branch again, and then the car sounds like a tracker
I even had the branch machined and still a month later she leaks
Could it be the bolts loosen up and if so what do I do to prevent this?
Or is this "a girly car"....loll
I have been thro 6 sets of gaskets in the last 4 months
And im really getting fed up
So could someone please tell me what im doing wrong?

this could be a shot in the dark, but maybe your engine mounts are on their way out?!? So what i mean is that when you accelarate the engine moves, which in turn moves the branch manifold, and this movement is putting strain on the joint. Could give it look, just my 2 cents.......
