I smell exhaust when I first get into my car. I have all new parts and even did a smoke test and nothing. It goes away once I drive. I had all the gaskets redone cause before it was really bad. I might get a CO2 detector just to see if anything shows up. If anything I will just take it to an exhaust shop this time. Very stressful.

The clamp up by the turbo has soot where it hooks together on the threads so I assume that’s where the leak is coming from. Is that an easy clamp to replace?

New clamp fixed the leak. It was a pain getting the new clamp on the pipe but no leaks. It’s been a pain but I’m glad my DPF was replaced.
