I have a leak at the exhaust manifold. I discovered it because there was a loud wooshing sound coming from the drivers side under boost and it just sounded like a cracked window, but I revved it in park and same sound. Was looking for vacuum leaks and found that a stud is completely gone. I won't be able to get the stud and gasket for a few weeks and I'm wondering if this will cause any serious mechanical issues?

Same problem but I noticed the bolt won't tighten so what can I do. All bolts are thre there's just a couple that I try to tighten them and they just keep,spinning and the exhaust leak is annoying. Any input will help thank you.
 
i have a stud snapped off from previous owner.. found it when my o2 cel kept popping on and off at higher rpms.. and has some nasty carbon build up. also had 1800 COx readings on emissions from fuel dump. Get to try and EZout the damn thing and hope for the best. And im replacing the crappy mani with a 2g and all new gaskets
