was topping up the oil today and noticed a pipe has broken off the exhaust manifold. its not the egr valve as someone says before thats on the inlet manifold but i think its egr related. it sits under the manifold heatshield and has 2 female torx bits holding it down. they have both snapped and stuck in the manifold. is there a way to block it off to stop it from blowing or would i need 2 remove the manifold and drill out the screws then re tap it?

without drilling the bolts out, welding it is the only option really. an exhaust centre will do it.
