I've noticed a hole in part of the welding before the muffler, I've seen water drop out when first starting the car after a few days of not starting it.

i think you are going to be a little more specific. farting noises can make a wide range of sounds.

You can hear it more after the :15 second mark.

I doubt it's from it being too big since I've had this car since Oct. 2008 and this just started in May.

try listening to the engine with the hood up while its making that noise. sounds almost like a misfire. you should be able to hear it in the engine if it is.

I don't hear it while listening to the engine and it only does it at idle, car drives fine.

I honestly don't think its the exhaust. im thinking a misfire. could be spark plugs, cap or rotor, or timing.

Another thing: My oil smells a bit like gas but I'm not burning any oil, does that still mean my rings could be messed up?

Alright because I was going to change my oil soon, just wanted to be sure.

Oil that smells like fuel would mean I have a fuel problem, correct?
