Wrench Dudes, Help!
I put my car up on a lift today and noticed that both sides where the tailpipes are connected before going over the rear axle have been leaking. I can see the exhaust on the outsides of the joints. Question: Is there supposed to be some kind of gasket between these sections of pipe or are they just supposed to be tight enough not to leak? I cannot see any gasket there.
Thanks!

Yeah well a couple of months ago I had the differential and the transmission seals replaced. I believe they left the gaskets out of the tail pipe when they put it back together. I didn't see no stinking gaskets today!
Thanks :cheers:

Yep, there should be gaskets there. Even if you get stuck doing it yourself, they are cheap, and you could put them in faster than I can type this message (once it's on the lift). Good Luck!

They should be there. When I installed the Corsa exhaust they came with a set. Go to the shop and :cuss !
