Exhaust Leaks

The exhaust system in a car is responsible for taking the toxic gases your engine produces away from your vehicle. As an added bonus, this system keeps the car quiet.

Exhaust Leak Symptoms

Just like faulty oxygen sensors or fuel injectors, an exhaust leak can make you fail an emissions test. Unlike the other two, however, an exhaust leak has more pronounced symptoms. You may notice that your engine makes a loud rumbling noise as you drive. Your gas pedal may vibrate. Decreased fuel efficiency is another. If you think you’ve burned through more gas than usual, this could be a sign of an exhaust leak. Your exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. This makes driving with an exhaust leak dangerous to you, not just your car. Be sure to contact a professional at the first sign of trouble for the sake of your health if you notice signs of an exhaust leak!
