Time for some good gaskets, not the cheap crap they send you in the header kits......

I had the same problem with my mustang. Tinman hit it right on the head. I also had to upgrade to some better gaskets.

You need some new ones any ways now . Once they leak they blow out and no amount of tightening will stop them leaking.
