Default advice; 1133/1153 codes??

Do these codes almost ALWAYS point to a leak at the head/manifold/header exhaust gaskets (I still have STOCK manifolds, with the factory 160K mile on them gaskets), or could they possibly be something else??

The front O2s have been changed TWICE each (to rule out the possibility of bad ones right out of the box), and this code STILL pops up every three weeks or so (~250-300 miles).

OK experts, WHAT else could it be, and what is the best way to check for an exhaust leak at the head/manifolds in this warm weather?

Im wondering this also. I would think at that high of mileage it probably is a leak around the gaskets, could be wrong.
I can hear, what i am 98% sure is a leak on mine and im also throwing those codes.

Ill know fore sure tomorrow when we tear into the engine to replace some other things
