I got my car tuned up this morning and boy does she run now.  I've only drove the car 1,500 miles since i got it 3 months ago.  All plugs were burnt and some of the plug wires had electrical tape around them.  

I got to looking today though and on the front part of the engine on the drivers side is where my exhuast leak is coming from.  I hit the gas up by the TB and could see the smoke coming out of the manifold.  The crossover pipe comes out the back of the turbo correct?  Meaning I have a cracked manifold/header instead of a crossover pipe.  I just thought the Xover was on the back part of the engine bay.  

If it is my manifold how would I go about getting it fixed.  Do I just take it somewhere and have it welded.  Or do I dare ask what one costs brand new.  

One other thing, should I be worried if at idle my oil pressure goes to 1 or 2 notches below 40.  It just worries me a bit.

That is your x-over leaking. It goes from the front manifold the the rear manifold. The turbo is bolted to it. A x-over from Jeff M. is $475(?) plus $100 core charge.

The manifolds are what is bolted to the front and back of the engine.

Great, I finally got it pegged as the problem.  The car is going into storage hopefully tomorrow so I will have it fixed in the spring and do the Xover and the topgun 160 all at the same time.
