    Default Exaust Leak

    Hello,
    I jack up the car today and noticed a large black leak or something on the exaust part infront of the muffler, I think its called the silencer. It is coming from where the front where the pipe connects and looks like something leaked from there down the bottom of it. Does anyone have any Idea what it could be from?

    Dont much like the look of what appears to be a kink in the exhaust. But if thats not the problem you might have just picked up a plastic bag and it has melted on the hot exhaust

    It looks like the weld has failed. The stain is soot and water. Have it welded back together.
