 I have a leak at the exhaust manifold. The few nuts I can get access to have all been somewhat loose. I'd like to properly torque all of the nuts and use a lock washer but how to get access?

From other posts it appears you can jack up the engine to widen the gap between the frame and engine block.

Do I need to loosen only the driver side motor mount or both?

Where to place the floor jack under the motor to make sure there is no damage?

Ultimately I expect to need to replace the exhaust manifold gasket but can't imagine how to get enough access to do so.

Any hints are greatly appreciated!
