Default Leaking sidepipe?

I did a search and I guess I used bad terms as I cant find anything and while I have never had this pappen I know someone must have,

Since I got the car back from the builders the drivers sidepipe leaks at the point where the header slides into the sidepipe.

So what is the easy fix?

Mny thanks!

Im not sure what pipes you have, but my hookers have a place to tighten them with a bolt on the inner side. I had to tighten them quite a bit before they quit leaking. If you have already tried that, then I am no help. Just make sure you have anti-seize in there or they won't be coming back apart.
