Start the engine... camera through hole reveals from where the dye is coming. Then I'll know which way to proceed: repair or replace.
Another question: I have the exhaust removed right up to the exhaust manifold. The manifolds remain attached to the engine... but nothing fron there on back. Should the car NOT be swtarted without the pipes on? If the car was started... might that cause some problems with valves... or anything else? Thanks!  |
The shop is giving you a good first step of a proper diagnosis for a reasonable price.
You have to start somewhere and the dye in an attempt to locate the leak is spot on in my opinion for a first step.
Starting the car with the exhaust pipes removed will not hurt anything except your ears
