The check engine light is on. I think it is from the exhaust gasket leak that ran for a while before I fixed it. How do I turn it off? thanks Jim

Is on consistently? I don't think exhaust gasket leak will cause the CEL to come on

Damaged or disconnected lambda sensor?

The exhaust header should have a collar on the header pipe that was an attempt to direct leaking exhaust gases away from rear brake line. In past a leaking exhaust gasket could melt the brake line
The lamda sensor should be above this collar. However perhaps the wiring to it got damaged from hot gases. Would be area to check
