i have no idea what type of motor that the troope even has but your exhuast manifold is gonna be under the hood and the very starting point of your exhaust(the part that touches the motor and gets real hot real quick)
No you do not, you would put oil on a oil filter gasket if it is a spin on type, this stops the rubber from binding and helps it seal.
depends on rpm, intake and exhaust, manufacturer,type of fuel etc..
A diagram for a 1995 VW Jetta exhaust system can be found in a Chilton's Automotive Repair manual for that year and make of vehicle. This type of repair manual can be found at most automotive parts stores and possible at a public library.
It is just a matter of getting under there and getting it out. These steps apply to a 1998. OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE: Do not get under a vehicle unless it is on jack stands. Do not get under a vehicle that is on any type of jack. Do not use cinder blocks (concrete blocks). JACK STANDS OR RAMPS ONLY. Disconnect the NEG battery cable. Very important step here. After that, remove the exhaust pipe section between the manifold and the catalytic converter. Remove the brace rod between the engine and transmission. Remove the heat shield, it just snaps on, from the solenoid. Disconnect the wires from the starter. There is a bracket on front end of the starter, remove the bolt that attaches the bracket to the engine block. Remove the two remaining bolts from rear end of starter. The starter should now be on your neck, however they are lighter than they used to be. Transfer front end bracket to the new starter. If you fail to disconnect the battery, you are going to weld your wrench to the truck when you create a short circuit. And possibly damage the electrical system. Be sure you replace the heat shield. It is important. Check for exhaust leaks after you're done. You may need new gaskets at each end of exhaust section. I've never done this job on this truck, but it may be conceivable that the exhaust section can be only partially removed.
It is between the upper and lower intake manifold. The gasket is an o-ring type.
If fumes are coming into a car it is most likely not going to be coming from a head gasket. The more likely places will be a blown exhaust gasket, exhaust doughnut, or some other type of exhaust leak.
Inlet or Exhaust?
white smoke is burning of water, did they have the head pressure tested(could be cracked), also was it checked for warping, have a leak donw test done

Its not a spin on type filter, its inside a housing on the left side of the exhaust manifold
I think they both work pretty well. Don't usually have a choice about which, because the manifolds you have dictate which type of seal you'll use.
An exhaust manifold or header collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. Usually constructed of cast iron, it conducts the exhaust gases from the combustion chambers to the exhaust pipe. It has smooth curves in it for improving the flow of exhaust. The exhaust manifold is bolted to the cylinder head, and has entrances for the air that is injected into it. It is usually located below the intake manifold. A header is a different type of manifold; it is made of separate equal-length tubes. There is also an intake manifold which directs fresh air, after it passes through the air filter and carburetor or throttle body, to the various combustion chambers (piston cylinders). And it should also be noted that, on some fuel-injected engines, what is often referred to as the fuel-rail, is also a manifold. It's purpose, of course, being the distribution of fuel to each injector.

It would be wise to replace the intake gasket with a new one than to try to fix the old one. How long it would take to replace the gasket would depend on the model, year and engine type you have.
