Are the manifold bolts known to work loose? Is there a gasket there or just metal to metal? Or is some leakage normal? Thanks. __________________ 2005 F250 XLT Super Duty Crew 4WD. White/Silver.

I know they did on my 7.3. And there should not be leakage. If there is try to tighten the bolts. __________________ '06 F350 Lariat SRW X-cab,4X4,Torqshift 5-speed Auto,w/23000lb GCVWR and many other options, Vandal Alert Cyclops, Pressure Pro TPMS, Extang Tuff TonnoIII, Duraflap mud flaps and Roadwing mud flap system, towing a Hitchhiker 33' Discover America 5'er and a Lund boat.
