The best time to look at signs of your exhaust leaking is after washing your car. As your vehicle ages, rust spots and dents will appear if there is a problem with the exhaust. It's always better to prevent damage from occurring than trying to fix it later. The following are signs that your exhaust is leaking:
- Exhaust is black and oily.
- The undercarriage of the vehicle is dirty and rusty.
- There are puddles of black oil beneath the vehicle.
- Exhaust is dripping from the cat.
- The exhaust sounds like it is leaking.
- There are drips on the ground underneath the vehicle.
- Exhaust is billowing out of the vehicle, particularly when you are idling.
- There is a strong smell of gasoline from the exhaust.
- The underside of the vehicle is rusty or corroded.
- There is a puddle near the exhaust of gasoline, oil, or coolant.
If you notice any of these signs on your vehicle, bring it to our service center in Louisburg, KS immediately. It's better to catch and repair the problem before the exhaust or other parts start to leak.
