i did a search but didnt came out with an answer..... how can I tell if i have a leak in my car.... can u tell by just looking at the engine or by the sound??? any help would be appreciated.... thanks in advance

 

what kind of leak? lol

 

im not that good in engine stuff yet.... so what i mean by leak is GENERAL....

 

...coolant, oil, vacuum, refrigerant, power steering fluid, brake/clutch fluid...? I mean really. Throw us a frikkin' bone here.

 

would there be a leak from the engine to the headers??? or from the headers to the dp or catback????

 

Yes, it's possible...is that the type of leak ur talking about?

 

yap.... how can u tell if there's a leak.... can u tell by looking or listening to the idle???

 

well, if you're asking about an exhaust leak, you would only hear it if you got close to it. You;d have to listen with a tube or scope. And the best way to test for a leak (whether it's exhaust, coolant, or a cavern in the desert) is with smoke. If it comes out where it shouldn't, it's a leak.

 

If you're talking about an exhaust leak - put you hand close to the piping ( NOT ON IT ) and feel if the exhaust is puffing air onto your hand. Also, it will have a dark spot around the piping if it's leaking ( from the carbon )

Not to be mean on anything and i know your a newbie, but if you have a problem with something and you have already searched...... you need to give us guys a LOT more info on what the problem is in order for us to help you.

Good luck

 

Is the leak noticeable from using the A/C?
