Re: Exhaust leak said by Beezel1 :I am aware and you do it with a thick rag and when the engine is cold and first started. Done it for a living doing state inspections for many many moons.
I'll second this.
If necessary, I'll even post a youtube video.

I'll third it. It isn't really like sticking your hand in a fire, for Pete's sake...
OP, the manifolds have been known to crack, but that can be difficult to spot with heat shields in place. It's possible to have one of the bolts come loose that secure the manifold to the head also, or they can break. A visual check of the bolts would be good, and when the engine is cold you can check to see if any are loose.
It is possible for the joint between the manifold and head pipe to leak as well, but not as common. |
