Exhaust Leak????

[dshockley]

Well, the last few days I have been noticing a sound when the truck is cold. Tonight I was working on a gauge install and with the hood up the noise was much more noticable. It sounds like an exhaust leak, but I am having trouble locating it. It also seems to go away when the truck warms up. Any ideas on how to identify the problem or find the leak? Cracked exhaust manifold??



Thanks

Dan

Dish soap and water in a spray bottle will work. Do it when the engine is cold and in the day to see bubbles. Sounds like exhaust gasket leak. Small mirror might be needed too.



Good luck.

Thanks Mark,



I just came in from looking at it again. I let the engine cool off real well and then I was able to locate it. It is a pretty small leak so I just needed to be able to get my hand in closer.
