Exhaust leak - help

[mantas]

Ok my downpipe and turbo elbow has this fucking leak and it never goes away. Ive tried exhaust putty, multiple gaskets and all kinds of other things. Some "fixes" have worked for a couple of weeks and then the leak comes back in the same spot. Anyone have any suggestions?

If the downpipe leaks where it joins the turbo on the flange, than one or both sides of the flange are warped and may need replacing/machining...

sounds like you have a shitty flange somewhere like said above. remove said downpipe and take a straight edge across all surfaces.
