A constant sound from the exhaust manifold can be caused by a leak, often due to a crack in the manifold or a failed gasket. This leak allows exhaust gases to escape before they reach the rest of the exhaust system, creating a loud, hissing, or popping noise. Other potential causes include loose or damaged mounting bolts or heat shield issues. Diagnosing the exact source typically requires a visual inspection or listening for the sound while the engine is running.
Intake manifold leaks will cause the engine to idle rough and get poor fuel economy. An exhaust manifold will have no symptoms other than the sound of the leak.
Exhaust leak at Exhaust manifold to head gasket or oring at exhaust manifold pipe.
Exhaust manifold gasket leaking
That would certainly be one of many likely results. The manifold basically carries the exhuast gas and the exhaust noise from the engine itself to the system that "muffles" it. Any cracks let all these things escape.
Yes.
If the engine knocks when it is cold, it might be a crack in the exhaust manifold, or possibly a crack in on of the exhaust manifold bolts leading to the block. The crack is small, and once warm will swell shut, thereby stopping the noise. Without repair, it might lead to valve exhaust valve damage.
check for exhaust leaks around the manifold inlets and outlets.
it will make a puff puff sound while idling.
I'd check the exhaust manifold first. A cracked manifold or leaking gasket can cause a sound that's a lot like what you describe.
A rumbling sound when a Civic Hybrid is accelerating could be due to an exhaust leak. When there is an exhaust leak too close to the manifold it can create a deeper rumbling noise.
An exhaust leak could do that.
if it is cracked or the gasket is bad sometimes they sound like ticking lifters. look for carbon deposits at joints and on the manifolds themselves.
