    Exhaust leak

    Hey guys!
    Was doing a service on the patrol over the weekend and after pulling my fuel filter off I noticed that it was covered in soot on one side.
    Took some photos, let me know what you think. Easy fix or better to go to a mechanic?
    She’s also for sale if anyone is interested send me a msg

    That to me looks like a EGR pipe that goes onto the intake ? Drivers side? EGR pipe could be leaking or cracked perhaps.

    Yeah your right, defiantly egr pipe, I shoulda picked up on that earlier.
    Hopefully just a new gasket and should be right?

    Could be a gasket but also could be a cracked EGR pipe.

    Its a known fact they tend to crack the egr pipe.
    normally with a whistling sound that goes away as it warms up
