First of all, i noticed that exhaust fumes were coming from around the engine of the car....not a lot but noticeable in the headlights at night at a stoplight. I took the car to an exhaust shop and they pu it on a lift, and ill be damned if the flex-pipe section of the front exhaust pipe wasnt broken completely off. That explains why its so freakin loud! Also, later that day, I popped the hood to turn off the engine (still has a vacuum leak. I'm broke for another couple of weeks), and I see that two glow plugs and a couple of the braided hose covers on those plugs are wet. the rings at the bottom of the plugs actually had a small bit of diesel around the bottom. Enough to whereif i blew on them the liquid moved. What the hells going on with this, and how do i fix it. Also, can i have a new piece of stainless flex-pipe welded onto the exhaust raither than blowing 150 bucks on a whole new pipe? Or any other alternatives. I can take some pictures of the diesel leak (im guessing thats what it is) if that would help. just let me know.
