I am in the process of trying to fix an exhaust leak (typical sound as I accelerate, does not go away). It appears to be coming from the exhaust manifold on the passenger side. I couldn't say for sure, and after removing the heat shield, I do not see indications on the gasket outside the manifold that it is leaking anywhere.
My question/comments are as follows:
Could it be the connection to the pipes from the manifold, as I only based my assumption on the sound from that general area?
Would it be visible from this point in the process? None of the bolts are broken, but may be loose.
How much crack have you guys smoked to take on this task? Lol I don't see how in the world I can get to the bolts, at least not enough to effectively remove them. Tire, well cover removed. Strut tower/sheet metal is directly in the way.
Should I tighten the bolts and pipe connection and check before I proceed? Don't want to venture too far before make sure it's the manifold leaking.
Cant post pics now, sorry. Just know I think this task sucks.
