Default Exhaust leak

I have a exhaust leak that is very annoying. It's at the manifold flange on driver side. The bolts are rusty so I'm afraid I will crack the manifold. Could I just weld this for a temp fix till I get headers?

JB weld? vibration and pressure would blow it out. I just changed mine. to the better part of a day. Header gaskets are cheap. Just changes the gasket now, then when you get the new headers, change it again.
