Unhappy Please Help

I think I have an exhaust leak on the exhaust manifold-to-head area on the passenger manifold. I replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets with some copperhead gaskets not too long ago(it still made the ticking noise before the gasket change and after the gasket change). If the noice happens to be from the gasket, what could I do to make the leak stop besides re-torquing the bolts? Would it be possible to use some sealant on it? Thanks.

You don't want sealant, won't hold up and if everything is torqued right should stop your leak. I'd recommend Felpro they've never leaked. You running stock exhaust manifolds or aftermarket?
