Gas coming from around exhaust manifold??

Hi all, I Recently started my truck and its spitting gas from around the rear most cylinder. the car has a bad sputter. Any suggestions?

Carbureted, with manual transmission? Then it's probably the mechanical fuel pump (or a fuel line to or from it) at the back of head on the intake side.


It's all the way on the left as shown in the picture below that ABE just posted on this thread:

It is a carbureted manual. When i looked closer its coming from between the exhaust manifold and the Head. Ill try to get some pictures this afternoon

Loose exhaust manifold?

Ok, apologies for the wait. I went ahead and replaced the exhaust manifold gasket and got new exhaust studs. It's still sputtering smoking and bogging down when you first give it throttle.
Actually learned today that this exhaust stud is stripped out.
