exhaust leak fixed!

[01lariat4x4]

I have an 01 7.3 I purchased back in April and it only had 66k on it which was amazing. However it had a pretty bad exhaust leak and for the longest time I thought it was my up pipes and for the price and labor to fix it I kept putting it off. However I was changing my oil this weekend and noticed a lot of soot around my drivers side exhaust manifold. Low And behold 4 consecutive bolts were loose. Tightened them down and now the leak is gone and man oh man what a huge difference! Just thought I'd share my experience!
