Default Fixing Exhaust Leak????

I have an exhaust leak on my pass side manifold where the 2 risers attach to it there is a small (annoying) leak where it has cracked-can this be welded or is there some kind of putty or something I can use, I was afraid to stick weld it because it may burn through the tube
Thanks!
Ben

A few people have given their's away, you may ask if anybody has a set laying around. Mine are somewhere, but I'm I'm kind of out of the country and I don't know the first place to tell my parents to start looking.

Good luck. :seeya

Those are them-depending on leftover funds I may have to see about bidding on those, really cant even drive the car right now the tires are so bad so that has to come first
Thanks!

I know, im going to go with Kuhmos but i need a second job before I can do that, oh well que sera sera what really aggrivates me is the firestones that were on the car when i bought it are at 60+% but are cracked so bad you can stick dimes in the cracks in the sidewalls-i'll never buy their tires again
