Default Think I blew an exhaust gasket how can I tell?

I think I blew my gasket from my turbo connecting to the mani. How can I tell. It looks like it might be split from the outside. My maintenance light is on now but the car still runs fine.

you will see your exhaust coming out were evert the gasket is leaking. or when the mani is cold start your engine up and put your had in the area. you can only do this for about a min or 2 because then it will be too hot.

A lot of guys on here don't even run a gasket for that joint, so even if its blown i wouldn't worry about it. eventually carbon deposits will build up enough to stop the leak if there is one. If you want a new gasket go to http://www.roadraceengineering.com/f...andgaskets.htm
