By the way... I know, I know... I didn't need a smoke machine to find this leak. I've actually known about this leak for a few years now. It's a demonstration video folks. Hope it helps!

I laughed out loud at work when you showed the hole... I get it was for demonstration purposes but it was funny as hell.

Yes, very funny but by accident. I should have presented it a little differently. But there it is. lol

I used a shop vac w soapy water. I saw bubbles from the front cat in my 2.4 2001 taco. That means the cat is toast right?

I just bought this to try and pinpoint a tiny exhaust leak that I found with the shopvac+soapy water method and i was surised to see that the smoke was not visible out of these pinhole/hairline cracks...i guess this is better for detecting leaks that are not hairline/pinhole

For super tiny cracks you need more pressure, for big you need a lot of smoke

Silly question but I have a smoke machine used for a party a few years back. I'm not a mechanic and I'm trying to find a leak in my exhaust. Would this be useful? Will using a water based smoke fkuid it damage the engine?

I need to diagnose a leak with my catted headers around that exhaust manifold and where it meets the midpipe. Is that stuff safe for a catalytic converter?

The stuff sold by AutoLine Pro is. The stuff most machines use is.

How do you repair a catalytic converter leak? Do you need to take to muffler shop and have heat shield cut off and then rewelded back together after the leak is repaired?

Probably just replace it.

@BarboursAutoHelp wouldn't it be much more cost effective to just have the heat shield cut off...leak repaired and then heat shield welded back? Can't be that labor extensive

@macknumber9 the trick is doing it without damaging the catalyst.

I am wondering, willl the smoke go through the cat to show a leak in front of it?

Yes. If the cats are not hot they don’t work.

Is there a chance the smoke might damage or affect some of the sensors?

I've never had an issue and it's recommended by manufacturers to use a smoke machine to diagnose lean codes. So, I doubt it.
