strange leak between manifold and turbo exhaust housing
I decide to use some seafoam to track down a horrible sounding exhaust leak. Quite a bit of smoke filled the engine bay. After some time I notice the crack between the exhaust manifold and the turbo exhaust housing seems wet. The a moment later i'm seeing seepage and tiny bubbles coming from one of the studs/nuts. I do have a metal gasket that I put there to attempt to solve the exhaust leak, but obviously I need to have the two mating surfaces shaved.
But what do ya'll think about the wetness between the turbo and manifold? Just the seafoam leaking out? |
yes

just an overall yes to everything?

You have a known leak.
You know its from warped surfaces. You have a liquid coming out of it after seafoaming the car. You know it could either be condensation or the seafoam. Either way you know for a fact that "fixing" an exhaust leak with a gasket is the equivalent of wiping your butt with poo. So I'm really not sure what your question is. Do you want me to hold your hand? |
