I have an exhaust leak in the passenger side header / upper h-pipe. Is this a common thing on a stock exhaust/exhaust manifold? Im bringing it to the dealer to try and have them fix it under warranty since the car only has 16k on it. Will they fix it?

Thanks

There's a gasket there between the exhaust manifold and down pipe. That may be where the leak is. My o2 sensor was loose on that side, too, which may also be the problem.

Personally, I'd never take my car to the dealer, but if it's under warranty, and they honor it, go for it.
