new crossover pipe leak

I have a new crossover pipe on my 351w. It is leaking right at the exhaust manifold, the flange. How could I get to seal up?

Is this a custom bent crossover? Are you running stock manifolds, or headers? Have you retorqued the bolts? Are you running donut gaskets in the "cup" area of the Y pipe?

Stock manifolds, stock bend on crossover, no donut gaskets[their wern't any there before]. I was thinking of backing off the bolts and starting again.

Just wanted to try this again. Are there donut gaskets for my ex-manifolds? This is an 88 351w.

You should be able to buy donut gaskets at any Napa or other parts store. Have you sought any professional advice on this issue (ie local garage, friends, etc)?
