Hi mud h8ers, I have a really stupid question. I am trying to close a leak in my exhaust system at the flange where the catalytic converter meets the muffler. Can the converter retainer on the exhaust system melt? My 1997 has a pretty rusty exhaust system, and I replaced the gasket, bolts, nuts, and retainer today with OEM parts to close the system, and I observed some metallic looking drippings coming from the area (see pictures).
Installed part numbers:
GASKET - 9091706043
BOLT - 9008010204
NUT - 9017906007
Exhaust Bracket - 1849576010
Any thoughts on what I am observing here?
Thanks in advance for any help!
