Exhaust Mainfold Leak
 

Hello All. I'm new to this group so please go easy on me.

I've got a 2000 civic which has an exhaust manifold leak. I've owned
the car for a couple of years and I think it's always been there, just
getting slightly worse with age.

I'm wondering what sort of damage I'm doing to the car, if any, and
also what the cost would be to repair it. I'm in the Toronto area of
Canada if that helps.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

Is your Check Engine light coming on?

Do you know where the leak is?

damage depends on where it's coming from. if it's a leak from under the
manifold/head gasket interface, it can cause expensive damage. if it's
simply a cracked manifold, [most likely], further damage is probably
trivial beyond the need to spend $$$'s on replacing the thing. just
drive until noise/fumes/emissions become an issue for you.

So, you can tell it's leaking because it's noisy when you start it cold,
but it gets quieter as it warms up? It won't set a CODE for that, but a
leak under the hood could be a bit dangerous on a long highway drive.
Carbon Monoxide. Why not just ask a muffler shop to look at it for free?

Then how do you know it's the manifold?
