I have an exhaust leak directly under the car somewhere in the front wheel area. I believe it is where the y pipe meets with the pipe to the cats/that flange. I can see a whole bunch of orange RTV on the flange like it has been repaired before, but it is rusted the same as the rest of the exhaust so I doubt it has been replaced. Can I simply clean the mating surface and reapply RTV, or is there a certain gasket I need to install there?
