for the past two years my car has had a slight exhaust leak out of the drivers side exhaust manifold at the block when its cold. the leak always went away when the engine warmed up yet here lately the leak became more noticeable and did not stop when the car warmed up. yesterday while driving around my SES light came on and i checked all my gauges as well as stopped in at a gas station to make sure all my fluids were at the right level and that there were no leaks. there were none and every time after the car runs from either 10-60 seconds the light reappears. i thought it may have something to do with open loop mode on start-up yet it doesnt seem to have any connection to the light. the car does not go into limp mode with the light on and seems to have all the power it normally does along with the normal fuel economy.
my best bet is that the leak finally got bad enough to cause low pressures in the manifold therefore setting a code, any suggestions? thanks in advance!
