Ok this would make sense because the passenger side exhaust manifold was difficult to hook up. There was an exhaust leak there, then I was able to tighten the pipe up to the knuckle so that it didn't move - but there still may be a leak.

If its an exhaust leak, is there any possibility of damage to the manifold / head on the passenger side? Could I drive it somewhere (once I fix the tranny problem listed in another forum) to have someone look at it?

Thanks for the response guys.
