Runs Hot - Sounds Like A Diesel
#14
If you have a shop vac, it's pretty easy to check for leaks in the exhaust system by connecting the shop vac from it's outlet to your tail pipe so that the shop vac is blowing into the tail pipe. You can then use a spray bottle with some soapy water around the exhaust connections to see where you get bubbles. Sometimes you don't even need to spray the soapy water;you can hear and feel the leak.
