I noticed that one of my exhaust bolts sheared off. Its the last one back on the passenger's side. It probably explains the rattling that I couldnt trace. Anyway, is this a serious problem? ANy clues to why this happened? Does this have anything to do with the oil leak in the picture?
Many thanks! Konrad 72/4 Attached image(s) |

It's bad because you'll have an exhaust leak. It can be repaired by either using an easy-out or drilled and heli-coiled.
It isn't what the oil leak is from... |
