Subject:      Re: Exhaust leaks

Definately worked for me. Found the leak in a minute. Thanks for the tip. William ---------------------- From: Dennis <guskersthecat@YAHOO.COM> Subject: Re: Exhaust leaks

I ran a shop vac pipe into the tail pipe and sealed it with duct tape. The shop vac was set up to blow, not vacuum. With the shop vac powered up, I then sprayed soapy water on the exhaust with a small spray bottle. In a very short time the leaks will foam up. Bob's technique of placing a rag over the tailpipe didn't help me find the small leaks (and there were a few) in my custom fabricated exhaust. This technique is also nice as the van isn't running, therefore no heat.
