How do you know that your up pipes are leaking. No particular reason, just curious.

Here's a pic originally posted by Dan (Kwikkordead).

You can see the black soot streaks on the driver side up-pipe.

That is exactly where I noticed mine leaking when I had my tranny out last week. Except it wasn't all the way around like that one. It was just on the bottom side and can only been seen with the tranny out and laying under the truck. Glad I was able to see it though. No I've got bellowed up-pipes on my list!
