About a week ago my weld on the exhaust right after the cat broke. Its tied up by wire until I get it rewelded. So, ive been driving the car and all of a sudden today the car started sputtering even more then it already was since the exhaust is open. My exhaust header gasket has been blown on the left and right corners and my gasket from the turbo to manifold gasket also blew. Now, when the car started to sputter it started to smell like gas so i shut it off and tried seeing what happened. the weld on the header have hairline cracks in them and there was gas coming from them...????anyone know. I pulled the plugs and wires and the #1 & 2 had some gas/oil on them while 3&4 were just a little dirty. But smoke started to come out from the plug holes in the valve cover and the car was already off for 10 min. While this has been happeneing today the car hasnt ran long just long enough to try and see where it was coming from. PLEASE HELP! thanks
