I've noticed on cold start I get a teeny bit of liquid and air bubbles coming out of one of the manifolds where it joins the engine. Once warm, it stops. The manifolds are in good nick, no corrosion, so I'm thinking, its a tightening or seal issue. It looks like water bubbles and evaporates pretty quickly with no residue or smell.
Is there such a thing as manifold seal replacement?
If that is the issue, what needs to be taken apart and how long a job is it timewise?
How much do seals cost?
If it stops once warm is it even worth fixing?
Anything else I should consider doing if I decide to get the job done?
Thanks and thanks! Smoothrider
