so as title says i think i have an exhaust leak changed my oil today and then took the car around the block came back home let the car idle i step out of the car i hear a hissss noise coming from uder the car, and couldnt really pin point it out cause of the walbro whine but i think its near the test pipe. Thought it was my back right tire but when i shut the car off it stopped any ideas on what i can do.

Have you tried to check the gasket for the test pipe?

are you sure its not a vacume leak? ive never heard an exhaust leak hiss....

pretty sure not vacume and the gasket seemed fine just really hot. But the rest of the exhaust is clamps or sleaves w.e u wanna call it

a real easy way to find exhaust leaks is get a can of seafoam...and suck a little in through one of your vacume lines..it will make your exhaust smoke and youll see it come out of every leak......

Jack the car up and check the gaskets if all is good try tighten the bolts GOOD LUCK.

An exhuast leak will not hiss at all, it will make a puttering sound.

Check the clamps/sleeve on the exhaust on the axle back area.

hmm, put the car on the lift / 2 jack stands ? turn the car on and lissen, spray with water, if its on the test pipe which im sure it is, buy 2 new 3" exhaust gaskets - you wont be able to buy them in local autoparts, or re-use the ones that you have (if they are still in one piece) when you install new ones make sure you align the test pipe, so theres no leak. problem solved.
