exhaust leak problem

Does anyone know of a way to get rid of an exhaust leak around the union of the cylinder head and exhaust pipe. The pipe looks fine so I thing the inside of the cylinder head is worn a little thanks

I use clear silicone bathroom paste (the sour smelling stuff). Apply sparingly, and it will remain in place (nearly) forever, and it is invisible.
