Header prob.

Header prob.
So, I get my car back from the dealorship after they fixed my P.O.S. tranny.
They charged me to drop the right header, which i guess is understandable. But now, that header is leaking...
So my question is, should i take it to them and get them to fix it. Or take it somewhere else.
And im wondering if they will fix it for free since they messed it up.

RE: Header prob.
Take it back to them and have them re-torque the header bolts...
I thought, no matter if they're new or not, any time you take off your headers, when you re-install them, you need to torque them, drive hard and heat them up, and then re-torque the bolts..
That's what I've done in the past...
What sucks now for you though, is the more it leaks, the greater the chance of the flange becoming warped... That depends on how much you drive it..
