Stud or exaust gasket

sadly (for me) its stud no1, evidence of a bit of soot blow to the left of manifold .....it shuts up when hot. I presume I should be seeing a nut or bolt head yeh not just the end of a bit of threaded bar in the hole in the manifold.

Easy job...Drill out...helicoil.....fit new stud.. Can be done without removing anything...Just swivel the alternator out of the way. DIY... or about 1 to 2 hours in a garage

First try and drill a pilot hole and try a stud extractor....if thats a no no....then drill/helicoil.
