Hi, I need to know which clamp is leaking? is it the one that connects the
exhaust to the cat?

If so these are a common wear item and can be bought from the dealer, the
cost over here is £20.00 each and they are long sleeves, fairly easy to fit
as they just slide over the exhaust and clamp up. Check where it is blowing,
you have 2 of these clamps as the engine has 2 cat's, each one going to a
seperate part of the exhaust.
