Exhaust Manifold Leak

[Dubins]

On the left side of the engine on my 2000 Serria sle 5.3 on the exhaust manifold there is a leak comming from the part that sticks out of the manifold and is sealed with a plate and two bolts what is that called and can i buy just that plate or do i need the whole manifold???

You will be able to find a gasket for it IF the bolts come out without breaking. It is the EGR to manifold gasket. Dealer will have it, probably less than 10 dollars.
