  1. Question for y'all: I noticed a sound in the attached clip, taken under the driver side tire. Is that the rattling of a broken bolt in the manifold, which I've been told is prevalent in older 3rd gens, or is it something else? - side note first time using forum its not letting me attach the video so I made it a streamable clip linked underneath.

Sounds like a combination of the broken bolt syndrome and lifters. I had 3 header bolts broken, took two trips to mechanic to find first one and then found 2 more during repair. Good luck.

Agreed it's at least one of the two. I have a leak on my passenger side that quiets down after it's warm.

Does it ever quiet down? If so, most likely just exhaust leak. If it's constant, may be the lifter or a combo situation like @tron67j stated.
