The first thing to look for is around the exhaust manifold area.This is where many exaust leaks start for different reasons.The area of the the leak is going to be usually a black color because of the of carbon residue left from the burning of fuel.This will be the tell tale sign of the leak.the exhaust manifold usually leads to a down tube that either goes into a pipe that that goes back to a catylitac converter or to a flex pipe(it usually looks like a braided steel hose.These pieces are bad for rusting out.That's the problem im having now.front wheel drives are different than rear wheel drives,because of that flex pipe,fwd have that and rwd don't.Rwd use a donought from the exhaust manifold to the pipe,where as fwds use that flex hose.Now in a rwd car that donought can and will be damged or rust out,just like the areas where the flex tube is on a fwd do.these areas are usually bolted together with a clamp of some sorts so those are the the areas you should look first.
The exhaust gets into the passenger compartment usually by a hole in the body of the vehicle. Another possibility is if there is an exhaust leak at or around the engine compartment,if this is so the ventilation for the passenger compartment can pull in the exhaust. Also you should check that the end of the tail pipe should stick out a little past the bumper.
From engine compartment?- valve cover oil leak coolant leak-radiator/hoses from exhaust- black- too rich blue- burning oil white- blown headgasket, cracked head, engine is burning coolant
Yes, you get carbon monoxide poisoning from a diesel exhaust leak from the engine.
it can leak into engine compartment as well as interior of car. depends where it is leaking
Do you have an exhaust leak? Do you happen to have have an exhaust leak or a damaged water pump bearing?
In the engine compartment, passenger side down low behind the engine. It is just above the exhaust pipe. The reason I know is sometimes the tube falls out and leaks directly onto the exhaust which over time will case it to crack creating a major exhaust leak.
If the valve cover gasket is leaking it will allow oil to leak onto the hot exhaust manifold where it will smolder causing smoke in the engine compartment.
No, an exhaust leak would have nothing to do with your engine timing.
Overheated, exhaust leak, oil leak on manifold-hard to speculate
Possibly. What an exhaust leak will do is KILL you. Either from the Carbon Monoxide you inhale while driving or the wreck you are going to have when it puts you to sleep. Get the exhaust leak fixed ASAP.
A manifold leak is usually in reference to a failure of the intake manifold gasket. It can leak air, oil or coolant. It can leak to the outside of the engine or internally into the engine. A manifold leak may also refer to the Exhaust manifold that is leaking exhaust fumes from a bad gasket or a crack in the manifold.
two things, exhaust has a leak of gases or fuel leak from engine bay
