Bad Exhaust Manifold or Gasket Leaks (Know the Symptoms before Replacement)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2022
- How do you know the exhaust manifold or gasket should be replaced? First common problem is leak. When you hear a ticking, clicking, tapping or puffing noise that means there is an exhaust leak.
Usually this is due to worn gasket or a crack on the exhaust manifold. Another common issue is exhaust smoke and fumes. This is normally caused by broken stud, bolt or cracks. Rust is the more common issue contributing to manifold failure

You did a great job explaining about exhaust problems! Sent this to my Grandson who has zero knowledge of 4 cylinder exhaust systems and you nailed it for him. Thanks for the great video!
You nailed my problem my Man. My Jeep had all those problems .
The screws on my manifold were all loose. All I did was tighten them. Fixed the problems. Thank you
Great video and right to the point. My truck was recently diagnosed with a leaking exhaust manifold and I'm suspecting that it is the cause of some of the issues I've been having with it. Loss of power, stumbling, exhaust fumes getting into the cab, occasional burnt smell, ticking noise, and intermittently the front end will shutter on acceleration as well as sputtering while idling. I was suspecting that maybe the O2 sensor is being thrown off but there has never been any codes or stored codes.
You're the man! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us. Well said. Clear and to the point. Grateful for helpful people like you who make the world a better place.
Found your video very helpful and useful lots of good information thanks for sharing this I’m going through everything you said with my 86 Chevy thank you
Thanks for the info I've been having problems similar but I'm hoping it's in the first pipe off the manifold.
Thank you. Hopefully, the tapping noise is from the exhaust manifold. It has tapping sound driving from a cold start. It continues (or at least noticeable) while driving between 20mph to 65mph. There is also that high pitch noise somewhere. The fuel pump seems to be (or hopefully) okay since I can hear it on startup or cranking to start the engine.
I will say great explanation on this it's all the correct common symptoms and most think it's lifters when it's just a leak but people need to know that backpressure is never good. That is not a thing. Pressure back into your motor... especially a turbo is horrible for your engine. Cats are the most restricted part of the exhaust. I have a 16 silverado and it's all done up but I have headers and straight pipe with no cats to a flowmaster dump muffler and the truck has never had so much power. Airflow is good. The reason this will hurt power is the airflow is disrupted and cannot flow quickly as it should
Man this video was soooo helpful I swear thank you very much bro
Amazing job explaining this! Thank you.
Thank you so much mate…thats helped me immensely…you sir are a Legend 👊🏼
Excellent this video helps me a lot!
Thank you so much! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was thinking my 5.3 L was suffering of a oil elevator issue or rods but I noticed as soon the engine warms up! The tapping noise goes away! And I noticed some exhaust manifold bolts are broken. It will cost me $1000 dollars to fix the problem but is better than opening the engine.
Very well made video. Thanks
Dude you are the best video ever keep it up and thank you
wow my exact symptoms thanks so much chief salute
Thank u for this ..i bought a chevy sonic with a bad gasket at the bottom is where the smoke was coming from before it disappears and it was also coming thru the vent also
Appreciate your time 🤝
Excellent explanations 🇦🇺🦘☮️
thank you!! great video
I subscribed and liked this tutorial.
Very interesting and helpful information. Can you make a video why engine burns brake fluid? Thanks.
Interesting topic
@@Top5AutoRepairs haha
Thank you friend
This was good info.
Very usefull, thank you
Hi, nice video, i have a toyota celica 2001, i had to get a new cat fitted because it snapped at weld, it was premium 1, anyway once it got fitted the mechanic mentioned that they had to use a different gasket because the 1 that came with new exhaust didnt quite fit, so i got car back and was driving about 3 weeks to a month and it started to struggle on acceleration and i got check engine light, i checked the codes and its reading p0420 and p0303, im scratching my head because there hasn't been any problem with car until exhaust was changed, so i bought a new 02 sensor as it mentions bank1 in the code info, but now im reading it could be down to a exhaust leak, which makes me think, its because of that gasket they used or its not been fitted tight enough, i just wondered if this was a possibility, could this cause these both codes to come on, when it idles theres like a sputtering noise from exhaust at back, but unsure if thats just because it had been sitting for the the last week. Would really appreciate your insight, thanks.
I have a 2015 Ford truck. Mechanic said that all the manifold bolts are rusted real bad and one of them is leaking. The sound of loud like a the fan turning the motor almost like if you're in your truck and hear lawn mower running outside the vehicle like lawn Care. Will this hurt the truck to be driven for like 2 weeks
My suv as all off this except for the smoke and it makes a turbo whine sound but just on cold starts. Does a bad exhaust manifold make this noise?
Hi brotber , would an underboost p0299 error ? My car boosts fine when the engine is cold but once the engine gets warm i lose boost i also see some light smoke come out the bonnet when i stop at the lights sometime
It was useful 👌
Thanks
Would an exhaust manifold gasket leak cause a p0420 code? I have a 2017 Transit Connect. Symptoms are, ticking noise at cold start up & seems to subside once engine is warm. Light sputter to hesitation when accelerating to maintain speed. Reduced fuel mileage also. Thanks for any input. Also seems to lack power at times. I can get up past 40 mph just fine which makes me believe the cat may still be good.
Yes it's possible
Does it have same sound on a diesel that has a bad manifold?
I’m also having my engine coolant go down but no visible signs anywhere even during a compression test kit being used could this also be the cause? At start up I have the rattling/ticking noise for sure plus mild/heavy smoke coming out of the exhaust with e peculiar smell like it’s burning the coolant but I haven’t been able to verify this yet.
sounds like a blown head gasket, what color is the smoke? check oil dipstick for milkyness
How far back on the exhaust Can a leak be?
how bt the dreaded po446? manafold leak??
Is the this expensive to fix?
Will it cause the engine to sputter? Appreciate your video!
Yes it can due to reduced/lack of back pressure
@@Top5AutoRepairs Thank you! I found all of your videos are very informative.
Men I did smoke test I don’t see shit intake or exhaust or the same sytemon
Will smoke come out the rear exhaust ? Especially upon revving
How straight is the exhaust manifold supposed to be on the gasket mating surface?
Extremely straight. Any irregularities are very bad.
Is this common for a 2015 Nissan Sentra for a p0101?
I already changed the air flow sensor 3 times. And I keep getting the same code.
Please let me know
Did you check air filter..... the code indicates a restriction somewhere
Hi i have noise in my car that sounds like a exhaust leak while i'm driving or the car is in gear. When its in neutral its no sounds at all and it sounds normal again. Do you know what it could be?
Sounds like what I’m experiencing on my car. I hear squeaking/chirping only when I’m stepping on the gas pedal gently especially when I’m maintaining my speed. But when I put it in reverse or neutral, and I step on the gas pedal, there’s no noise.
lifter needs adjust maybe
If you put an air hose in the tailpipe with a cap that's relatively air-tight, should it be able to hold some pressure if there are no leaks at all? Could this be a diagnostic method? Thanks.
Will it cause a rough engine idle ? Also will cause to the engine to choke a bit when start up or while running. I have a leak and my rpm’s are jumpy at red lights.
Hi I'm not this mechanic but I can answer your question. If there is a leak upstream of the O2 sensor, the sensor may detect excess oxygen in the exhaust and tell the car's computer to compensate by adding more fuel to the mix, because normally this would be a "lean" condition (not enough fuel in the mix). This can cause a rough idle especially at low RPM or when initially accelerating. A lean condition is more dangerous for the engine than a rich condition so the compensation is intended to protect the engine even if it causes rough running.
Would you get a p0171 code from this
You can't
can this cause engine overheating btw;2012 dodge charger sxt plus
doubt it
Hello, if the manifold is not crack and I don't hear any bad noise but I smell fumes inside the vehicle can be just a bad gasket?
Could just be an exhaust leak from the pipe itself?
I have a 2015 Ford truck will it hurt the motor to drive it like it is one of the bolts are rusted and broke the mechanic said that all of the bolts are rusted bad
I got all of this except a code
Where can I find a new alternator for my car I try every auto parts store they discontinued
Rebuilding the alternator is the next option
Could it be bad if the "clicking" is there all the time and gets louder with throttle under load
Yes
Lifter tick or rod knock. Hope for lifters 😅
@@Top5AutoRepairsmy 96 Ranger 3.0 is clicking fast and I reved up to 3k rpm for a little bit and the noise went away then came back then tried 2500 Rpms it stops and starts once I let off the gas what could my problem be? Thanks
How long does the job take to replace this Exhaust Manifold?
It depends on the vehicle. Average between 1-3 hours.
Dodge Durango 08?
When pressing the accelerator, there’s a loud rattling noise, what can that be?
You have a rat under your accelerator pedal.
Your catalytic converter may be breaking apart inside.
cracked flexplate maybe
A manifold exhaust leak can cause engine to run Rich?
yeah
i like how you try not to smile while saying to use wd40 or a torch to loosen bolts cus you know how terrible it can be
👍🏼 good mechanic.
When stepping on the gas pedal, and especially when I’m maintaining my speed, I hear a chirping/squeaking noise either in the dashboard or engine bay. But when I put it in neutral or reverse, and I step on the gas pedal in the same manner, there’s no noise. Any idea what this could be?
Slipping belt?
@@CulturalFrontline yeah I just bought an oem belt and will probably buy a new oem tensioner assembly as well
@@CulturalFrontline yesterday I had my mech replace the front and rear engine mounts and tranny mount, all OEM. Squeaking is gone!
So it was the belt or the mount?? How did the mount cause acceleration sounds?
@@greendholia5206 the squeaking noise was from the worn engine (front and rear) and tranny mounts. The way I see it, in other cars, you’ll get vibrations all over the engine bay. But my car, for whatever reason, squeaked due to bad mounts. To be clear, I didn’t replace the serpentine belt nor tensioner… just the mounts
the heat shield on my exhaust manifold is cracked right where the bolt is, is this something I should be concerned about? It seems it just has a crack/hole on the shield, but the actual manifold looks intact
Thanks for the knowledge, very good to know, sub for more vids
