I have this really annoying sound that I have been told is an exhaust leak coming from the left side of the motor, almost under the car but it is hard to tell. My SC has always had this sound but it seems to be getting louder!! I tightened the manifold to down pipe bolts a while ago and it seemed to help quite a bit. So recently when the sound got much louder, I jacked it up and tried to tighten the bolts again. But it didn't seem to help as it did before. I am thinking I might have a crack in the manifold or it might not be sitting perfectly flat against the head. Are there any manifold gaskets available for our cars that might solve the problem? When I tore my motor down before, there weren’t any gaskets so I didn’t reinstall any.
Can an exhaust leak cause any other problems besides from the annoying sound?
Are there any tricks to find out where the leak/sound is coming from exactly? The sound is much louder in Drive and Reverse than it is in Park or Neutral. Thanks for any help.
