Exhaust leak

Got it up on the lift and found the leak. Now i need to know how to fix it.

It is leaking from the flanges at the cat and manifold.

The red is where it is leaking from. Where the bolts are going through both flanges it is fine.

solutions

1. new cat
2. gasket?
3. weld them together
4. burn the car to the ground

Not sure what you mean by "main gasket". To my knowledge there is no gasket there. i could be wrong or maybe you dont understand my goofy drawing.

anyway, i will take a pic later showing where the leaking is, cuz i was woundering alot where its leaking from, i changed the cam cover gasket before and i am sure its not leaking from that place anymore, but there is a leak in the right side of the exhause manifold, i will take a pic later
