Correct, agreed. I am close to assuming it is the downpipe, and will be making moves soon on that when i narrow it down.
BUT, i'm still going to address the cabin leak. Why would i not? If anything, this is the perfect opportunity to properly seal off the issue because right now, and only right now, while my issue is occurring inside the engine bay, i can test it.
I am able to tell if a repair works. Where as after the source is fixed, i will not be able to test to see if the repair has worked.
I like the idea of sealing off the firewall as it was designed. Surely other issues in engine bay may/will crop up over the next few years. So why not have it not impact my health when they do.
