   hi my sister has a problem could someone please shed some light
   
   she says air is coming from the manifold gasket . would this cause the car to stop running ? what would be the result from a leaking manifold gasket
   the car is a 1.1i

   im assuming you mean the exhaust manifold?.. a leaking gasket wouldnt cause it to not run ... although the lambda sensors might be going mental because of the difference it will make on the exhaust gases

   thanks lads , yes sorry i mean the exhaust manifold.
   
   she says there nothing under foot , she dont know what shes on about but she says its like theres no pressure .
   she says her rocker cover looks like its leaking too
   
   maybe there is something else up and this is coincidence , but its driving her mad .
