I think it's more of a problem then just a 'leak'.

I did hear some sort of 'pop' the other day (from under the car) and the car looks like it's got white smoke. I haven't run a compression check or anything. I just don't have time anymore.

I may just drop it off at a shop or something. Just wanted to get emissions done ASAP so I can be legal!

murphy660

Is there any goop or sealant I could apply around the connections as a temporary fix?

murphy660

you could most likely do that temporairly, but idk how hard is it to reach the exhaust mani?

Not hard to 'reach' the exhaust manifold, but to replace the gasget (if it in fact IS the gasget) is a pain because I have to remove everything.. manifold, turbo, downpipe, etc...
