I've been trying to figure out a lawnmower-like noise being emitted from my engine area...and I think I found the culprit. I just bought a '91 9000S and love it. But this sound is very troubling. I'm not very experienced with engines--so please bear with me. Am I correct that the manifold is a piping system leading out of the lower engine block area? And is the part that makes a connection the gasket? And should there be any air coming out of this seal? Because there is. And the sound is annoying. If I've zeroed in on this correctly, what damage is this producing, and how much should it cost approximately to replace? Thanks in advance!
