Signs of a Leaky Exhaust System

A leaky exhaust can occur because of a number of different reasons. You may have run over some debris in the road that caused a problem or the issue may have come from just general wear and tear associated with daily driving. Regardless of the reason, there are a number of signs that there is an issue with your exhaust. These can include:

• Increased sound coming from your vehicle. It may sound louder while you are driving or the sound coming from your engine might just sound different in general.
• You may notice some damage on your exhaust pipe such as rust or chipping. This can indicate a bigger problem with your whole exhaust system.
• Condensation dripping from your exhaust pipe or from underneath your vehicle.
• Acceleration may cause some louder sounds or even smoke coming from your exhaust or from under your vehicle.
