[DML] Re: Possible Exhaust Leak

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Do not try to correct an exhaust leak by tightening things up. You
will just wind up breaking fasteners. Although it may be possible to
fix the one gasket that has failed the better answer is to remove the
entire exhaust system and replace ALL gaskets. Exhaust work is one of
the hardest and messiest mechanical jobs that you can do. It is best
left to someone experienced in this type of work. If you are not
careful you will break all of the fasteners trying to remove the
exhaust parts making the job even bigger and messier.
