pcw1982 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hello all, I need help again! My exhaust has been making a bit of noise lately so had a look yesterday, I think there is a small hole on top of the pipe so have filled with Holts Gun Gum, this should fix that problem. It is also leaking fluid (I guess water) from the joint on the pipe near the main back box (I took a picture but its too big to attach and my computer skills are somewhat lacking). I have covered this in Gun Gum as well and hope this will do the trick. But, does anyone know what might be causing this, is it indicative of a bigger problem? Wife is on maternity leave so could really do without this getting expensive!! Thanks as always. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscopervis Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The fluid is condensation which forms when the hot exhaust cools, plus the cooling of the air most places get at night. It's just trying to get out and is choosing the places where the exhaust seems to be corroding/failing. Short term you should look to get these bits welded up. Longer term you're looking at a new exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcw1982 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Yes its OEM, ok always fails doesn't sound good! Is there an easy fix or is it a garage job? Would much need replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 You can have a sleeve welded in place or we can sort a new replacement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcw1982 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks CS. New one doesn't sound cheap and cash is an issue at the moment, hopefully can make it last to the Spring when wifey will be earning more than SMP again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
