How can you Detect Exhaust Leaks in your Car

Page 1


The exhaust system is responsible for discharging gases from your car.


These gases which are carbon emissions are typically colorless & odorless.


If the exhaust system has issues, then these gases can leak & enter your cabin.


Here are the signs of exhaust leaks in your car.



If the engine makes a loud sound after starting, then it is a sign of exhaust leak.


The leak is caused due to a damaged gasket that separates engine block & exhaust manifold.


The gasket might develop a crack as it is cooled & heated simultaneously.


This will cause a noisy engine problem to occur as the exhaust fumes escape by the gasket.



If you feel vibrations when pressing the accelerator, then you may have an exhaust leak.


The faster these gases escape, the more vibrations you are likely to feel.


You are likely to experience vibrations from the floorboards & steering wheel.


It will get to a point where the vibrations can be felt within the cabin.



The ECU will not get accurate readings from the sensors about the amount of oxygen.


This is caused due to the exhaust leak & your car will burn more fuel.


Then you will see a reduction in miles per gallon & increase in fuel costs.


Your car needs a proper inspection to find out the real reason behind the problem.



The above-mentioned signs are associated with a leaking exhaust.


Take your car to a certified repair shop to fix exhaust leaks.
