i don't know if you are N/A or turbo

if it's a turbo you might want to check out the downpipe .

the downpipe has an accordian looking section . it is common for this section to crack
this would fool you into thinking #6 is leaking .

check with your hand on a cold start put the hand just below the turbo heat shield and the very back of the shield .

the manifold bolts needing a heli-coil is common too so it could be both or one .

any cylinder to heli-coil would be better than #6 it's too tight back there

I checked to see where the gasses are escaping and its right on the end of the manifold by the bulkhead Id say about two inch of the gasket is lettin out gasses,its the turbo model ,I gather the turbo would have to come off to do the job ?thanks
