I had the hood up today and noticed that quite a bit of somethin leaked out of the manifold/engine, manifold/turbo and housing/downpipe connections. is this bad of can i just retorque the bolts. i did it to the downpipe/housing connection and it stopped it. or do i need to buy some gaskets.

 

Somthin

Green = antifreeze

black/brown = engine oil

red/brown = transmission fluid

clear = water, power steering fluid, or diesel fuel

blue = windshield washer fluid

white/crusty w/black specs = bird droppings



What did it taste like?

 

it was exhaust

That "stack splitter" looks just like the old cabover Peterbilt Y pipe, right
down to the devider in the pipe...........HUMMMMM

 

Hey, my bird drops green.... and plenty of it.

 

If it is an exhaust leak, first tighten the bolts. If it seals your in luck. If it still leaks, take it apart and replace the gaskets. If it still leaks you have a warped manifold or flange or turbo wastegate hsg.
Make sure you wipe the bird doo doo off. It will eat and discolor the paint. Or collect it, and distill it and hook up the vent to the turbo and see what she will do in the 1/4 mile

 

I shoot all the birds that even look at my truck.
plus we have about a million barn cats.

 

Shatzie says you are a mean man... She says that if you don't like Parret poop, you need to paint your truck green so it don't show...

 

Pull the turbo clamp and see if the falnge started to spilt. Mine has.
