Default Exhaust leak...BADDDD!!!

I started driving the 30 Fordor last summer, in Texas, so every window was open to keep from melting. That winter I drove it to a local garage for radiator work, then drove it back home. The return trip was frigid, so we had her buttoned up. I had a killer headache and felt woozy when I got her home. We could smell exhaust fumes, just figured that was how it worked.

Cranked it today with some help, my friend said you have a bad exhaust leak where the exhaust pipe enters the manifold. He's had an A for years. He told me there's a copper gasket or sleeve to put in the joint where the manifold and pipe meet to stop or slow the exhaust leak.

I haven't looked online for it yet, but was hoping someone could steer (pun intended) me in the right direction.

Thanks
