EGR gasket

Is there a gasket I am missing on my car? I don't remember there being a gasket between the egr tube and the exhaust manifold. I don't see one when looking for parts. I have a pronounced tick on the passenger side. Since all other gaskets are replaced and bolts tight, id assume this is what I'm missing

Assume away,..

a loose/leaking egr pipe makes a constant exhaust roar,.

A "tick" exhaust sound comes from one cylinder,. most times a broken bolt,.

No broken bolts. They are all brand new and I have checked torque on them. What I am asking is if there is supposed be a gasket between the exhaust manifold and the egr tube. I don't see any online

I don't remember ever putting one there,. if its' leaking, i,d think the pipe must be bent a little,.so the flanges are not lining up?

I would try loosening both ends then tightening manifold side first,..

If the flange itself is tweaked,. you might get lucky with some high temp silicone,.??

That's how i installed it. Manifold side first then found the correct intake side gasket and installed.

no small cracks in the exhaust manifold?

Possible. Didn't see any when it was off but wasn't really looking

There was a TSB out for the passenger manifolds cracking on 9C1s, these use the same manifolds and can have the same issue.
