Ehaust manifold gasket

Post by DIDZ »

Exhaust manifold gasket is leaking (diagnosed with tapping noise under acceleration) - Question is : Is it ok to still drive with it leaking like this, Or is it something that should be attended to Pretty quickly?

It wont be a problem but as someone mentioned, leave it for a while and it will start to damage the sealing surfaces. Another problem too is if its also letting any air into the manifold, it can play havoc with youre oxygen sensor if you have one.
