any way to look at without major work?
were are the spots that potencialy could leak?
if there was a exhaust leak wouldnt the exhaust sound louder? :idea:

you might not hear the louder exhaust over the engine... i nearly wake up my family when starting my motor :lol:

my exhaust downpipe used to leak on be badly... couldn't notice it at first, but when i went to wipe the inside of the windshield one day it became all black... :shock: no wonder i was feeling 'light headed' on long trips!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

me too,i cut out my raintray
the windshield fogs up if i go thru a puddle when its raining from the steam comin off the engine
i can smell diesel smoke when i floor it at low rpms and let it smoke bad
im planning on making a duct to the heater inlet plumbed from a hole in the left inner fender well,between the fender+door gap
someone said it may not be a good idea to get air from the fender well area (yucky brake dust),i agree

hahah or leave it!! i actually like the smell now, just the damn mess, everything in my car was covered, my numbers on my tach and speedo are blacker and i had to pull my dash out for some soldering and all the what was white plastic was covered in soot!! i should get some pics of the multiple layers of soot on my windsheild!! my friends always enjoyed drawing obscene objects in the soot on the side windows. nothing better than going out to your car later and notice you have been driving around town with penises drawn on the rear windows :oops:
