pre turbo exhaust leak

[Thatguy]

if I have a pre turbo exhaust leak........ driverside ....... would that make it sound like a missing cylinder? plenty of power, running smooth, no loping ....... just sounds like a slight miss (under load) and it obviously has an exhaust leak.

Exhaust manifold gasket?

 

[Thatguy]

Could be. Haven't invstigated it yet.

those rings from the manifold to the turbo leak bad

Clarify. Keep in mind I won't see my truck till friday.

Probably up pipe and donuts need replaced, if its been leaking long there will be a groove worn in the up pipe and new donuts wont seal.

My 99 had a pretty good exhaust leak on the driver side. I thought it was the Up pipe to the turbo. WRONG. 3 BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS Yet another reason to pull the engine

just got done drilling them out and helicoiling them yesterday

 

[zpd307]

my back manifold bolt had broke, coupled with both uppipes leaking terribly and my cab stunk of diesel exhaust. and yes the motor came out....

 

[Thatguy]

Not getting exhaust in the cab, but I can smell it next to the fender and I can def. Hear it.




can't find the exhaust leak but found out where my fuel is going..... something called a filter restriction sensor??????

 

[Diesel_brad]

Maybe the water in fuel sensor. Mine was leaking. It is now removed and plugged

i know the fancy automotive exhaust smokers are expensive, but mabey try a smoke machine that you might use for making smoke for halloween. not as fancy as the expensive ones but if it gets the job done.....

we have used the one at school a number of times and they are really cool. you can pinpoint a leak easily and right away. just an idea.

Diesels are simple really. JUST LOOK FOR THE SOOT. And you found your leak

Ain't that the truth!

Ain't that the truth!

yes that is the truth. sometimes though the black soot coats a whole area and you still have to try and pinpoint the leak.

Look in the area were the soot is the thickest.
