Leaking Gaskets

[drift-zn]

Hi guys

So i have leaking gaskets but at this stage i am not sure if it is coming from the inlet manifold, exhaust manifold or head gasket?

I have occasional puffs of white smoke, could this be due to possible head gasket leak?

Car is very high on fuel consumption and sluggish, lacking power...

Any tips or advice on what i can look at?

wont be head gasket your car would overheat or miss fire. could be intake. what makes you so sure its a leak? usually white smoke is turbo seals on their way out

Can hear a leak on idle and also when driving. Not sure if its intake or exhaust manifold.

well if its lacking power your exhaust gasket might be leaking resulting in slower spool of your turbo

My money would be exhaust side. Either one of the runners to the head or at the collector. Used to be a constant pain in my arse.

Had it checked out this morning.

Exhaust Manifold and Exhaust gaskets are leaking...

Just dropped the car off. Getting gaskets changed, rear main seal getting replaced.
