Common Causes of an Exhaust Issue
Your vehicle’s exhaust system can encounter problems that can cause it to leak or not function as intended due to a whole lot of different reasons. However, here are a few of the most common that we typically see:
- Rust and corrosion caused by Ontario winters, where road salt accelerates metal deterioration
- Improper previous repairs or the use of non-OEM exhaust parts that don’t fit or function correctly on your Lincoln.
- Physical damage from road debris or from the exhaust catching on curbs, uneven parking areas, or raised surfaces.
- Age and mileage can cause hardware to rust away, flex pipes to crack from years of movement, or other components to weaken over time.
- Muffler leaks or internal separation resulting from external rust, impact damage, or engine issues that create excessive pressure or heat.
- Clogged catalytic converters are often caused by missed tune-ups or engine problems that prevent exhaust gases from flowing freely.
Exhaust Service FAQs
Can I drive a car with an exhaust leak?
You can, but it’s not recommended. Exhaust leaks can let fumes into the cabin and reduce engine performance and efficiency, costing you more in the long run to leave it than having it fixed right.
Can you fix an exhaust without welding?
It depends on where the exhaust leak is coming from and what is needed to make the repair, but sometimes it’s possible to fix an exhaust without welding.
Is it worth replacing a bad exhaust?
A failing exhaust affects safety, fuel economy, and performance. Replacing it prevents bigger, more expensive issues.
What is the most common cause of exhaust leaks?
Rust and corrosion are the most common causes in Toronto, followed by damaged gaskets or loose connections.
Will an exhaust leak cause my check engine light to come on?
Yes, it can. Leaks near the manifold or sensors can trigger engine codes and turn on the check engine light.
