the bracket that holds the exhaust manifold onto the engine broke off and it now leaks oil down the front of the car and causes it to burn

RookieThere is a port above the oil filter location that was causing the leak - it first appeared to be a cracked block but was not the problem - my mechanic figured it out. He had to take several parts off to get to the port which was an easy fix just really hard to get to. Resealed the port and have not had any leaks since.
