Before diving into that exhaust manifold gasket, you should be able to easily confirm that this is indeed an exhaust leak. If you feel around the joint between the block and the exhaust manifold while the engine is running, you should be able to clearly feel the exhaust leak. If access is too limited, a couple feet of tubing, with one end in your ear and the other end poking arounb the manifold, should do the trick.
