Leaking exhaust manifold E350
On behalf of my inlaws'...
Their 1997 E350 Class "C" has the rearmost top and bottom exhaust manifold studs on the passenger side broken off. There is a slight bit of soot on the gasket but no fumes getting into the cab. So my questions are:
1) Can this be left indefinitely until it gets worse?
2) Can I just pull the manifold and replace the gasket and broken studs with out replacing the manifold or other studs?
3) How big a job is it on a van?
Thanks.

The only wisdom I can share is maybe do a seach for "exhaust studs" in this forum------should be a lot to read about there. I did a quick search myself and recall a few threads with photos and learned experience about this somewhat common problem on the V-10's.
