Water and a bit of dish soap. Shake it up, spray it on all welds and seams. Any bubbling is a leak.

Great info again, thanks, loved the mirror idea for checking. Would have liked to see the part removed and just where it was actually leaking. And if the leak was in the pipe after the cat, couldn't a replacement pipe be welded to the cat, vs. replacing what is usually a very expensive part, the cat? RichE San Diego, CA

Hello, when I put my hand to tail pipe on 2013 Hyundai Accent, I can feel that it blows cooler air in about every 3 seconds consistently and hot air other times. It happens when engine is warmed up. I can also feel rmp drop about 100 same time as well. Why would that be? Thank you for your videos.
@SolitaryCanid8 ай бұрын
OR, Use a shop vac with the hose connected the exhaust side of the vacuum, put vac hose in tail pipe and tape it, block the other tail pipe, turn vacuum on to pressurize exhaust, spray exhaust with soapy water to find leaks. No burnt hands, no fumes inhaled.

The main reason for fixing a exhaust leak would be the fumes going into the intake vents for heating and a/c when you turn the unit on, it will spell bad.

Exhaust leaks will not normally show up when you read the OBD II. So a clean OBD scan actually means nothing.... Folks are becoming too confident in OBD readings. BTW, some leaks are hard to spot because their noise/ sound is buried within the noise of a running engine. Manifold leaks are best spotted by using ChrisFix's cold motor, back blown, soapy water spray technique. This is a COLD motor method -- the exact opposite of that shown here. The above technique is typical of professionals -- because the target car, with its hot engine, just drove in -- and the mechanic has a lift. For many, once a leak is spotted, having a professional fix it is the way to go. In many neighborhoods, a driveway repair -- even this simple -- is banned. This is the Mrs. Kravitz effect. See Bewitched for how Mrs. Kravitz operates. Heh.
