Get underneath it and check if the exhaust is leaking so you can identify where its leaking could be a flange connection

Hi there,

This can be one of a number of exhaust components, possibly you have broken one of th pipes due to rust, so this should now be put up on a hoist and have the exhaust fully investigated, it will be a lot quicker to get a mechanic to fix this one.
