Exhaust Leak , please help
This morning I found a small puddle under my truck
('01 4.2 supcab 43k miles and no other problems till now).
There's a leak coming from underneath, between the union
of the manifold ( the segment coming down from the engine) and the first segment to the exhaust. Sorry about my ignorance.
Could it be coolant? I should ck the level right?, oil in dip stick looks ok.
Jeeez, sickening thoughts of failing gaskets and '97 type problems wont go away; just how concerned should I be guys?
Before bringing her to the dealer, for the 1st time btw, I need to
be a little more (alot) knowledgeable and maybe the manager won't pee on me and tell me it's rainning. It's true, some mechs see a woman and think of the fishing rig they want for x-mas.
I know I'm just babbling now, sorry.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

what color is it? you need to look at it and feel it and determine what it is. if its water, don't worry. when i start up cold and drive 1 mile to work, a lot of water (condensation) drips from my exhaust because i didn't drive far enuf to warm it up.
