exhaust leak?


Recommended Posts

So my 97 leg 2.2 smells like it may have a leak coming from the exhaust manifold gasket, I purchased some new ones from RockAuto.com! love that place. Hopefully it will do the trick, get to do the bearings on that one as well. its my wifes ride, gonna paint it primer then a light bar on the front.:)

You may want to post this in the Newer Gen forum for more responses. This section is just for the older stuff :) Regardless, Rock Auto is pretty awesome, minus getting raped on shipping sometimes. If it's leaking where the pipe meets the head, you'll def hear that, they make a lot of noise there. There are plenty of places for the system to leak. Get under the car, and have someone hold a rag over the tailpipe for a couple seconds, it'll help you find the leak.

If it's smelling liked burned fuel (not the raw gasoline smell) and your vehicle has a vapor canister it might be time to replace it. I just put a new one in mine (brand new) and the difference is amazing! Before, I could have asphyxiated someone if they stood next to my idling car for a few minutes.
