As a home remodeler, I use soapy water to check for gas leaks all the time, for instance after installing a cook range. But I'd have never thought so this for an exhaust leak. Brilliant! Thanks!

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks ! 👍

[@vt7828]

Just use a lighter

[@tedspens]

@@vt7828 I've done that in a pinch, if it's safe. Not sure how well it would work for an exhaust leak.

[@miguelquazar883]

I love how you included the removal of the shop vac from it's home. The simple things can create frustrations and are commonly editted out. It is funny, it's life. The moments we say, "Really?! F*ckng come on!" Good stuff. Great video.

🙂

[@legioner9]

Funny video, but at the same time, very informative. This method with vacuum cleaner and soapy water is also the smartest way to find exhaust leaks.

[@adamr8628]

Smoke is most likely way easier.. You can use a 99 cent cigar and hose. Spray bottle doesn't reach all of the hidden areas. Smoke will find its way through without having to crawl around.

[@26tbucket]

This was great! I loved the metal with the vacuum scene. I've been working on a custom exhaust for my 1936 Chevy truck with a 5.3 LS. Headers have been a nightmare and my old timer buddy said dump tranny oil down the carb and find the smoke. After about a gallon, my neighbors are annoyed and I have a guilty conscience. I thought about this but was thinking it wouldn't build pressure due to valves being open. I'm sure EFI throttle bodies seal better than carbs. If that's a problem I'll seal off the carb. Easy enough. Going to do this to find a vacuum leak too. Thanks man

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

👍

[@prmcollin]

Yep always the easiest things that go completely sideways. Haha

[@relax-rest-restore7819]

Thank you. Found the leak at the flange in less than 2 minutes and never broke a sweat all while underneath the truck..

[@dntlss]

Great video man,was rolling with the vacuum scene and i know why you left it in and it was brilliant. looks like to some folks here it went right over the head (as usual)lol, it just shows us how "its always something" when your trying to get something done, i was working on my car a month ago or so and i left my shop vac right in front of my doorway to the house while i was i the garage, turned around real quick and ran into it, tripped over it and went thru the doorway and landed in the kitchen,was in major pain but i just busted out laughing, no ones fault but my own,lol

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

Thanks brother. 🍻

[@corywalker4078]

A nice old trick to find leaks, thank you! It's a good and almost zero-cost start before getting really serious and getting a smoke/fog tester. And of course, the hardest part was getting the shop vac off the wall, ha! Everything's a project!

[@PaulHenreid]

Agreed. This is the best and safest method that uses sight, sound, and touch to locate exhaust leaks.

[@michaelorosco1436]

Question! Won't forcing air back up into the exhaust foul out the o2 sensors?

[@383Stroker-ek4sc]

Not if you disconnect the battery.

Thanks .. I can't find a donut gasket for my Jeep Wrangler. I just replaced my manifold and manifold gasket on that same side because of the crack, but now it's leaking loud.. Definitely have to try this tomorrow

[@CharlesMantia]

I was a mechanic and we use to just get some rags and hold them over the tailpipe and the leak would make a lot of noise. Just get someone to look for it while you plug the pipe.

[@jimbelflower6704]

Thank you for the vid! I swear, the vacuum scene is similar to what all of us do trying to get something out or off. Lol. Awesome. And I’m using this method right now to see if my ticking is an exhaust leak or something else. Thanks!

[@raniaafg4753]

Hrmm from my experience ticking usually is your ball joint that needs a repair as it’s worn out or if it’s ticks only when your turn then it’s your CV joint. Exhaust leak would sounds more like a not so nice rev XD

[@dntlss]

@@raniaafg4753 Ticking is a classical exhaust leak by the ball and socket/header area etc,know what you mean by the CV joint balljoint but i think most people call it exhaust tick is because you accelerate and that leak goes pah pah pah pah pah and it kinda makes a ticking sound,i had a old H pipe on my Mustang that was leaking and i could have sworn it was a lifter ticking every time but thank god it wasn't.

Your ram will probably have 1 or two broken bolts on the passenger side, closest to the fire wall. Really common.. if you have alot of miles it starts happening on the drivers side too.

[@PianomanRay]

I was told my car has an exhaust leak as well. But it’s getting to where I can smell exhaust in my vents when the A/C or heat is on and it’s making me sleepy when sit at a light for a while. I’ve noticed this from when I was younger and we used to have kerosene heaters and when the kerosene runs out the smell puts me in a real deep sleep. But I gotta get to work and it’s a hard thing to save up for a mechanic to replace. I really hope I can get it done soon for the sake of me and others around me.

[@flyingyakdeath]

Dude your brain is poisoning from CO. You can't smell it but carbon monoxide comes along with the exhaust gasses you can smell. Learn about how not to die from CO poisoning.

So I feel the best part of this video by far is the realness of him trying to shop vac off wall. Why is it no matter what we do in life there is always somwthing unrelated to our real issue that gives us an unforseen issue? Things never go smooth or easy because that is real life. So glad you didnt edit that part out.

I thought about something almost the same ? There is some Capsule of which when you add acid it Causes a Smoke . this is used to Check if A gas copper Pipe Has Faulty Joints Place the Smoke Capsule within the Exhaust end and Seal it in and Thrust air into the Exhaust Pipe I Have not tried it out as Yet But Having Put Brand new Exhaust Pipes and also Flex Pipe; I thought that would have solved the Problem But the fumes are so Bad it has to be The Manifold either Cracked or Gaskit I'd like for you to try this Method out; This Smoke Comes out thick wherever the Crack or hole might be

[@nipponjim7815]

Possible leaking heater core if smell is coolant'y, if not you have a stuck-open engine bay louver vent and possible manifold issue. Can you shut the louver? My Suzuki Grand Vitara had electric louver that malfunctioned in the stuck open posiiton which I dont think is good because it allowed humidity ingress into the cabin.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. Just the day before yesterday my wife said your 04 crv is so quiet I didn’t even know it was running. Then yesterday I started it up and it sounded like the muffler feel off. But the noise is not coming from the muffler, it sounds more like it is coming from the catalytic converter. Somewhere around the cat. Could it be the change in temperature “ like the weather “that caused a crack or what? It went from summer weather to almost freezing in the morning. Could that be what caused the exhaust leak? Thanks for your help, James
