Exhaust Leak?

Exhaust Leak?
I was looking for a fuel leak while my truck was running and noticed that i have exhaust flow coming out of my engine near the turbo. i tracked it down and it looks like it is coming from the turbo pedistal. when looking at the pedistal when its installed there is a rod that goes into the passengers side below the circular exhaust deal thats hooked up to the turbo. i have noticed exhaust the cabin for a while now and never really thought about it. has anyone ever had this problem and what exactly is it that its leaking out of?? thanks

Are you noticing any power loss? have you noticed the the smell since you changed the down pipe? could be the down pipe not on properly or it could be the gasket between the exhaust up pipes and the turbo. the thing you are describing is the exhaust back pressure valve control cylinder and that would be leaking oil if anything

It sounds like the ebpv valve is bad. Especially if yoiu see oil leaking out of it. You can remove it and gut it but there will need to be some welding done to plug some of the holes. tjbeggs has one that is done like that.

No, I mean the pipes that feed the turbo from the back. One pipe comes off each exhaust manifold and turn directly up to the turbo. Where they both meet the turbo, they are sealed with a doughnut gasket and flange. They are very prone to leaking. Powerstroke shop dot com sells them for right at $200. You get new pipes and all. But I don't have the link.

Hi Bob I don,t have a pic but if you are looking at the turbo just behind it there is a square piece with four bolts this is where the up pipes bolt to rite behind the exhaust side of the turbo if you can,t see it jump up on the bumper and look rite in there behind the turbo
