that's probably what it is. look around the manifolds for soot.

20- 30 bucks. you might need to get a manifold gasket set. or it might be a broken bolt making a gap.

well if it's a broken bolt. kind of a PIA. the bolts like to seize up. or if you just need gaskets then pull the bolts and slide in the gasket
