Go to qwick fit, say your exhaust is blowing... they might use sealent
its worth it until u can get it sorted correctly.

Mine was blowing a little near the gasket, qwick fit did it for free and its been fine for 6 months

Or just get a tube of exhaust gunk from halfords (the expandy stuff), pop the joint apart, apply a little bead of it, making sure it won't squish 'into' the exhaust.. Do up, drive, seal ;) (I wouldn't use this stuff 'upstream' of the turbo, but as long as we're talking downpipe->exhaust joint, it'll be fine)

Just don't leave it in your toolbox if your toolbox gets hot, or the tube explodes and.. well.. it's quite messy :lol:
