A leaky exhaust system on your vehicle is bad for the environment, and in some states, you can even get fined for your fuel emissions. And if the gases are getting inside the cabin of your vehicle, you could even make you and your passengers sick. If you're looking for a way to catch exhaust system leaks early, keep reading to learn from us at Baumann Auto Center Port Clinton in Port Clinton, OH.
One of the first symptoms that you might notice is a noise that shouldn't be there. You might hear hissing or popping sounds. Otherwise, if you have a leak around the manifold, you'll hear a consistent roar right after you start the engine that's much louder than the purr that you're probably used to.
You'll also get bad gas mileage because your car isn't using the fuel efficiently. Your engine isn't able to use all of the fuel, which is also one of the reasons why you get lots of odors.
