(Home) fuel consumption / exhaust manifold

hi all!
seem to have a problem with fuel consumption... it drinks more than me!
i put wynnes injector cleaner through every few months and that seems to help, but should this be necessary?
also, i have noticed soot on the engine block near the front of exhaust manifold. no excessive noise, but is this a sign that gasket is giong? how easy is this to change? any special precautions needed with a turbo hanging off manifold?

thanks.

hiya eddie, the leak will defo effect your fuel usage.
it might be due to a cracked manifold too because its a common fault.
