Hey guys, started driving my 89 convertible after months of working on it. It runs great, but has exhaust leaking up front. I was in hopes that my local shop would maybe put new down pipe gaskets, and solve the problem. He showed me where it appears the manifolds are leaking. I started tearing it down, and the bolts are mostly barely tight. I can't see that there even is a gasket. Is there? Or could I be fortunate enough to just tighten the bolts?

 

There *should* be a gasket at each exhaust port:
