Is there a problem with the exhaust manifold warping?
After dealing with a bad cam sensor and driving the car two times in limp mode there is an exhaust leak where the manifold meets the head. I replaced that gasket and the lower gasket and I still have the leak.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Sounds like you may have warped the head. You'll need a precision straight edge and feeler gauges to check.

Based on what I hear when I slightly rev the engine I believe there is a crack in the manifold. I will have to remove the manifold to confirm this theory.
If it is only a crack I can stop-drill the crack and weld it shut. I hope the problem is that easy.
