Looking for advice.  I have a small leak at #3 = rotor housing to exhaust flange, detected by a bit of discoloring on a SS = baffle that is about an inch away.  I installed with the stock Mazda flange = gaskets.  I have re-torqued the nuts, no change

 

Should I: a) Remove and replace = gasket?

        &nbs= p;      b) Remove and coat gasket with high temp RTV?

        &nbs= p;      c) Throw away all three gaskets and use only high temp = RTV?

        &nbs= p;      d)  None of the above and ignore the leak?

 

Thanks,

 

Al
