87 4kq 5cyl, ticking noise from manifold

[Cade Carvell]

That seems to be a consensise.  Now I have to find a way to find it.  I
think may be one of those take it to a shop, and let someone else bang
up there nuckles, type of thing.  From what I can tell, I either have to
a contortion artist, or remove many parts to get to the leak.  Niether
of which, soound like something I want to do on my only daily driver.

Unless someone out there knows a trick to get to these bolts?  I was
thinking maybe giving each of these just a little push tighter, and hope
that the gasket (if there is one) isn't totally destroyed by now.

Thanks,

A small exhaust leak sounds very much like a ticking or clicking
noise. I think you have an exhaust leak in or near the manifold.
