Is there any particular reason why the driver's side of the motor is more prone to developing an exhaust leak in the center of the manifold?

I do have Thorley headers. With a new gasket everything is fine for anywhere from 300 to 2,000 miles, then I get a leak. This time it is dead center of the flange.

The passenger side does not seem to have this problem. Could it be a warped flange? But then why would it snug up and work for a while?

Thanks for your thoughts.
