1986 1.6 JXTD Manifold-Turbo connection. Do I need a gasket?

Post by megavolt »

Hi all. My T25 - an '86 TD, has an exhaust leak between the turbo and the exhaust manifold. I know this is supposed to be a direct metal-metal connection, but it seems there was a gasket in place when it came to trying to fix the leak. Can anyone point me at where I can get a gasket to put in there?

Top part of the image is the exhaust manifold that comes out of the head, bottom is the turbo.
Bolts are all wrong so evidently some work must have been done on it in the past.

Should I just tighten up as best as possible and leave it?
