If he said it's the gasket, then replace the gasket.

Yeah.. really, if the previous owner TOLD YOU it had a bad exhaust gasket.. then remove the manifold and change the gasket..

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that if the previous owner told you the exhaust manifold gasket was leaking, and you appear to have an exhaust leak in the engine compartment, you may have a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. The easiest fix is to replace the gasket. If you visually inspect the manifold and see a crack, it is cracked.

Why do you ask a question that you were given the answer to before you even posted?
