Can you repair a leaking manifold with exhaust putty? Mine has a slight leak which, on further inspection, seems to be that someone (the previous
owner ) has tried to clean it up but taken a little too much off in one section

Exhaust putty won't seal a hole in the manifold it'll just blow out. You could try chemical metal on it.
or one of those nasty repair tubes that you secure with big hose clips?
be best to get it welded up properly though, is it stainless?
Probably lead knowing jag!

Have it resurfaced, a place that skims heads would be a good starting point.
I'd go for some exhaust goo. I reckon it would hold, it's been doing the job nicely on my exhaust header for a few thousand miles..... Useful stuff to have even if it doesn't work so not much lost compared to whipping off the exhaust and having it skimmed....
