today i when to get a new exhaust. when the put the car in the lift, i look under to see how everything is holding together and i found some back oily stuff coming out off the clamp that connects my upper pipe to my middle pipe.

is this something to worry about?
what can be causing this?

i check my oil and is good level and the color still like new. this stuff in my pipes is black and dont smell like oil, but it feels like it.


thanks for the help!

 

I'm not going to lie I'm having a hard time following what you're saying. Hopefully someone else can help you out.

 

@ first I was going to say maybe some plastic got stuck on your exhaust
but then you say it really does feel like oil so I really don't know
except to think that you have some sort of fluid leak

 

carbon build up plus water vapor

 

Check you oil feed and retrun to make sure they are not leaking.

 

Just a hint for future reference: put a subject in the subject line. Something like Upper plenum leaking not I got a question. Hell everyone has a question. Thanks.

 

Ok. Will do in the future! Thanks everyone

 

did you find out what it was?

 

Nop. Gonna check the turbo tomorrow

 

any updates?

 

Post a picture of the pipes in question and the oil.

 

awaiting updates. Hope its nothing serious!
