How to check for exhaust leak
I have a feeling there is an exhaust leak putting fumes inside the cabin of
my '94 Chevy S10. It does seem to have a noticeable smell, although not like antifreeze. Isn't there something I could pore into the engine while it is running which would produce smoke at any leak location, like the exhaust manifold gaskets. regards Nadeem |

How to check for exhaust leak
Many years ago I read about a ''trick''.I think it was in an old Popular
Science article which dated back to the 1950's,Auto Kinks,Hints,or something like that.It pertained to drilling and threading a hole in the exhaust pipe near the exhaust manifold and installing an Alemite grease fitting.The gist of it was by using a grease gun and putting a dab of grease in the exhaust pipe/tail pipe,that was suppose to make the pipe and muffler last much longer.It probally made the tail pipe and muffler kind of smokey for a while too. cuhulin |
