Was testing the arb air lockers today and when I tested the front I got a big puff of smoke and the sound of wheezing. Clearly the line had torn.
Looked underneath and It seemed like the exhaust manifolds were leaking oil? I couldn’t find a source of oil above/around them and each pipe had the same wet underside. I figured this hot oil then dropped onto the air hose and burnt through it.
Is this something common? The car leaks very little for it’s mileage (258k), just the occasional drip. I drove the car later and looked underneath and this same area was dry as a desert. The exhaust is pretty rusty and was to be replaced but I didn’t noticed it getting rusted through anywhere. Is the oil from a valve gasket leak or something?
