I have a 95 Disco and the passengers side exhaust manifold,gasket ( where it connects to the pipe, not the block) keeps leaking. Actualy the three bolts that hold the tail pipe on keep loosening up and backing off. I,ve tried new nuts, lockwashers, double nutting it, locktite. They all still loosen up and back off. Any more suggestions to keep my Disco from sounding like a 74 pinto. Thanks

Are you torquing them enough?
You might also want to try serrated "whiz" nuts.
Those hold very well.
Locktite will not work because the high temps melt it. Something like safety wire or a bent locking plate (like on the steering box sector shaft nut) might work as well.
