Exhaust Leak
I Have A 2000 F250. I Have A Exhaust Leak I Cant Seem To Find. I Have Looked Around The Down Pipe, The Y-pipe That Feeds The Turbo. Looked Around The Manifolds The Best I Can.
Does The Powerstroke Have A Common Place That It Usually Leaks Exhaust, Anyone Have Any Ideas Of Places I Might Look.
I Was Thinking Maybe Around The Wastegate Shaft? I Cant Seem To Find Any Exhaust Residue Anywhere..
It Sounds Like Its Leaking When I Accelerate Hard, Or While Im Pulling And Accelerateing.
Anyone Have Any Suggestions, ??

ex. leak
It only makes the noise when im under a load, like towing, or accelerating hard.
It sounds like a blown header gasket, like on a hot rod. Ticking/clicking sound.
I have re-positioned the down pipe vband clamp, repositioned the vband clamp on the y-pipe that feeds the turbo. checked the exhaust housing bolts, checked the turbo mounting bolts.Im at a lose, and i hate that noise.
My buddy had the same thing, and his drivers side manifold was leaking where it bolts to the head, you could see and feel the exhaust coming out while it was idling. Mine is not that bad. But i have inspected my manifolds and cant find a leak.

When my dads truck made that noise it was an exhaust manifold that was warped. It took us forever to find it but we had to replace it to fix the noise. After that it was fine. Friend that is an engineer for Ford and International said it is a comman problem and ford makes manifold gasket kits to fix it now.

i work on 18 wheeler exhaust. u should try replacing that v clamp. i get alot of trucks with that problem. the clamp stretches, espesailly if it has been taken off before. if that doesn't work try your manifold. if that don't work. i'm not sure. good luck.
