Yes a cracked manifold could cause it, it'll be drawing air in the crack and affecting the o2 readings.

Ideally you'll need to get 10 x studs, 10 x nuts from Vx to replace the ones currently fitted, a new genuine Vx multi-layer gasket and a replacement manifold (2nd hand OK). Couple of hours work to the less experienced :y

And hope that none of the originals snap when trying to extract them. :'(

Plusgas is an easing/releasing agent. WD40 is IMHO a waste of time :y

Sh$t, must type faster ;D ;D
