Hey All,

I did a seach for 'Exhaust steam smoking' but no results were shown...so heres my question:
I put on a Tsudo N-1 Cat-back exhaust over the summer as one of my first mods; it sounds great, drives great and everything seems good (except for an oil leak which seems pretty bad at the moment...). I drove home from school today and looked under the car as soon as i got out to check and see if I could tell where the oil was dripping from, when I noticed smoke or something, coming from the seams of where the new exhaust piping meets the old downpipe.

Is this normal? I had the exhaust installed by a professional racing shop here in Dallas, Jotech
Racing, so I wouldnt think they made a mistake. Any advice or comments would be appreciated :) :dsm:

By the way, the car's a 98 eclipse RS if that matters
 
They either didnt use new gaskets or they didnt clean the services before installing the new gaskets, or not completly tight. Or a combonation of all. Im going to say its oil burning and and coming out.
