88 F-150 6 banger exhaust leak

I just went through the trouble of replacing my intake/exhaust gasket, trying to fix an exhaust manifold leak and that sucker still leaks! Any tricks or ideas to eliminate this?

Thanks!

Did you check to make sure your manifold isn't warped? Take a good straight edge and check your manifold and head.

The head and the exhaust manifolds (there are 2 manifolds on this engine) were fine. One manifold had a small crack right in the middle but I'm getting very little, if any leakage from it. I guess I'm going to have to take the inner fender out again and see if I can tell where it's leaking; it shouldn't be too hard because I powdercoated my manifolds silver before I put them on. Thanks for replying.
