Some guy told me that if you use two header gaskets per side you won't be as likely to get a header leak? I have one on the passenger side and need to fix it, and was wondering if this is true or not?

Using the correct gasket is more important. First off, the manufacturer supplied "paper" gaskets are worthless. Copper "O" ringes gaskets only work properly if your header mating surface is perfectly flat. A header with an "O" ring that doesn't match the gaskets "O" ring will fail. The composite middle of the line gaskets are the best bet in header gaskets, but unlike the copper, are not reusable.

Two things you can try,, First locate where the leak is when you take it apart. When you install the new gasket, at the point of leak, you can either rub on a little High Temp (orange)Locktight gasket sealer on the gasket face, or an old racer's trick is to cut 1/4 inch strips @ 3 inches long of aluminum foil and wrap the gasket like tape. You'll be amazed. Good Luck
