Hey All. My '87 vert with a garrett turbo has been running great, but with a noticeable exhaust smell with the top/windows down. Thanks to fellow posters here, I was able to see and get some photos of where there was morning moisture coming through right upon cold startup this morning. here are some pictures:

There is leaking visible at where the turbo-elbow pipe (correct name?) connects with the header pipe (I could not find a gasket for here on thesaabsite.com, but it seems to indicate that there is metal sealing ring here?), also where the exhaust manifold connects with the turbo body (found gasket for here), and also there appears to be a front face for the garrett turbo (between turbo and elbow) that is also leaking (no gasket found for here either).
My questions are: are gaskets needed for the two places I did not find them, and if so where could they be purchased? Do I need to remove the exhaust manifold in order to replace what needs replacing on the leaking parts (if so I should probably re-do the manifold gasket as well)? And is this a job for a mechanical newbie such as myself...the bolts and posts look rusty and brittle, and while it seems straightforward I'd hate to get in over my head. Maybe this is a better job for a shop?
