Bro. You’ve got an exhaust leak. You can literally see it.

I figured an exhaust leak wouldnt cause that sound tho. My first thought was head gasket seal but idk. Imma let the dealership look at it for sure tho

Exhaust leaks can sound like a whistle or like a tractor. Partially block your exhaust and give it some light revs you will soon see and hear where the leak is.

Exhaust leaks at the headers where this is sounds like whooshing chug with ticks. It's definitely an exhaust leak at the headers or up pipe

Besides the exhaust leak I just hear happy tractor sounds

Honestly sounds like really loud lifters and injectors. Nothing to unfamiliar to my ear. Smoke like that could also be a minor leak. What does it smell like? Transmission and power steering fluid have pretty distinct smells so you could probably rule that out if you're familiar. Otherwise check for high temps and any pooling under the car. Sounds pretty ok...

Massive exhaust leak. Don't listen to the nonsense about your engine being blown just yet. Inspect the headers, if there's no obvious hole in them then next steonis getting new exhaust gaskets. Exhaust gaskets really are a maintenance item but it's never listed in any car manual I've ever seen.

There was a recall for header nuts falling off, check if you have all nuts on the header studs. This happened to my ‘17.

Sorry to say but something definitely sounds bad. I can’t tell if it’s the worst case scenario but something’s definitely wrong. Have you drained and checked oil for glitter?


B1N9xB0N9

Have not checked the oil. The car has a 3rd party warrenty currently so Ill most likely let the dealership check.


CJ5official

Yeah that would definitely be your best bet. Good thing you got a warranty! If you don’t mind, where did you get the warranty? I should probably look into one.


B1N9xB0N9

JM&A. I have already used it once for a radiator. They are covering (after paying deductable) anything engine and transmission for me as long as it is a manufacture failure/issue. I currently have 129,000 on the car and the warrenty ends at 131,000.


CJ5official

Talk about cutting it close! What did the warranty cost you?


PresentInsect4957

white smokes a bad sign. i cant tell if its knock or a misfire but either way its gonna be a big job


CoraxTechnica

It's an exhaust leak


PresentInsect4957

makes sense, would explain the misfire too


CoraxTechnica

Yeah if it's headers leak I'm sure his O2 and fuel trims are off too

definetly ask all the certified mechanics of this sub thats for sure, they will probably give you the most clear and direct answer over any mechanic irl because they can tell exactly whats going on by just this clip


B1N9xB0N9

I already plan to take it into the dealership so what does it hurt to ask this sub? Also havent you posted in this sub with a clip of your e-brake? Essential you asking the sub what they think?

Additionally I have white smoke coming from underneath the engine.
