<VV> fumes in car.

[Ron]

One side only?  More likely an exhaust packing.  If so, remove the manifold 
and install new packings.  It's not a very difficult job but may seem like 
it if things won't come off like they should.  If a head gasket, you should 
be able to hear it.  Remove that lower shroud and listen.
