Bit about the car. Stock Legacy RS 1996, Twin turbo, no exhaust modifications at all.
So I went for a WOF today at VINZ and failed on numerous little things.
However the car failed on an exhaust leak, the only problem is, the testing agent didn\'t and couldn\'t point out where the leak was.
Can anyone tell me how I can be failed on a leak that even the testing agent couldn\'t pin point? He simply said to me "You have an exhaust leak somewhere in the front, its hard to see on these kinds of car, it could be the passenger side, I don\'t know."
What kind of equipment do they use when finding these leaks, and how could he have found a leak and not be able to tell me where it is? I\'ve done some tests under the car, checking to see if any air is escaping in spots and can\'t find shit. Although it does sound as though the passenger side of the car is louder under the hood it is extremely marginal and hard to tell.
Anyone have any idea\'s as to what to do? Should I take it to an exhaust place? Take it back and hope I get a different testing agent who wont fail me on it?
The exhaust is completely stock, so sound is surely not an issue either.
