What does an exhaust leak sound like, and is it dangerous?
An exhaust leak usually sounds like a hissing, ticking, or louder-than-normal rumble that gets worse when you accelerate, and yes, it can be dangerous.
Beyond the noise, a leak can allow fumes including carbon monoxide to reach the cabin, which is a genuine safety risk. If your car is louder than usual or you smell exhaust, have it checked by the expert
team at Forthright Auto Repair. Our hours are Mon-Fri: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM | Sat: 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM | Sun: Closed, so stop in before it becomes a hazard.
Why is there white smoke coming from my exhaust?
White smoke from the exhaust often means coolant is burning inside the engine, which can point to a blown head gasket or a cracked component, though a little white vapor on a cold morning is normal.
If the smoke is thick, constant, or sweet-smelling, it's worth taking seriously before it leads to overheating or bigger engine damage. Bring your vehicle to Forthright Auto Repair in Albuquerque and we'll find out exactly what's causing it.
Can I still drive with an exhaust problem?
It's best not to drive far with a known exhaust problem, because it can let harmful fumes into the cabin and lead to failed emissions, poor fuel economy, and further damage.
What starts as a small leak or rattle often gets worse and more expensive the longer it's ignored. Call Forthright Auto Repair at (505) 705-1010 and we'll take a look before a minor issue turns into a costly one.
