Hello I have a 2007 sport trac with a v 6 and I have an exhaust leak under the drivers seat area and there is a joint there where I think there is a doughnut gasket and it is bolted together with bolts with springs on them so I was wondering if anyone knows or can look up for me the torque specs on how tight to make the bolts thanks John
 
Normally the spring maintains the pressure, tightening the nuts will do nothing or snap the bolts..

Your donut gasket may be worn out. You will probably need new bolts when you try to replace it. If you are blessed, the old ones will snap quickly.
