Does anyone know which gasket I should buy? and maybe some tips about how to make this not happen anymore...?

Thanks in advance!



oh and I paid @29.xx that includes the tax AT THE DEALERSHIP for my oil change.

Its a "slip over dounut" style gasket that slides onto the end of the mid-pipe and the axle back flange is flared so the "dounut gasket" seats into it and when the 2-bolts are torqued down they seal up . I'd try and loosen the bolts and see it the axle back isn't seated right on the gasket the re-tighten the bolts . My nitto mid-pipe to hks hi-power axle back had a slight leak at the gasket and I un-bolted , re-seated the flanges and re-torqued the bolts and bingo bango no leak. Its pretty hard to blow this gasket out but if its shot its like 30 bucks from toyota fyi , hope this help ya .
