I just replaced my oil pan gasket and now my exhaust leaks where the downpipe connects to the manifold or header. When i removed one of the 3 bolts that connected the 2, I must have stripped one, as I can only fasten 2 of the 3 now. It I very LOUD now and i hope this is the only problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I can't even drive my car cause there is soooo much smoke rolling from under the hood

Please help if you can.

get a new header, cause if you stripped it....your screwed!

No way...I'm not about to trash a perfectly good header just cause a little bolt is stripped. It's going to a mechanic monday to get drilled out, then I'm gonna put another bolt in it and new gaskets too. Now if it still leaks, well then a dc might be installed.
