Just chasing a noise on my 2.0 that sounded like an exhaust leak but doesn't look like one once the exchanger is off the head.
However I notice that the #3 port and pipes are light gray instead of black.
I tightened the exhaust before taking it off with no change and it doesn't look like it was leaking there. Could leak between the head and cylinder cause it to be lean? and also go away once its warmed up? Or is this generally a problem that is cause by intake leaks?
