Technical Discussions / V8 Exhaust Leak

Last post by JohnnyO - September 09, 2026, 01:28 PM

I have an exhaust leak on my 1994 NAS Defender. The stock 3.9L engine has been replaced with a 4.6L V8 that would normally be seen in a 2004 Disco2. There is the typical puffing sound and visible smoke on the right-hand side of the engine. I have already replaced the exhaust manifold (Thanks Bill!) and the gaskets, as well as the down pipe gasket.

Reaching under the manifold you can feel the exhaust escaping. The source is hard to tell since it's so hot you can only put your hand there momentarily and its lower down and hidden by the manifold. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm wondering if it might be coming from between the engine block and the cylinder head.

There's no white smoke/steam from the tail pipe. There's no frothy antifreeze on the oil dipstick. The coolant level is down a bit in the reservoir but that might just be a result of my neglect.

Any words of wisdom of what to look for next? I am also looking for a shop in Calgary that's willing to take it in. (See my other post.)

Non Technical Discussion / Landy Repair Shop in Calgary

Last post by JohnnyO - September 09, 2026, 01:09 PM

Hi everyone, I am in search of a repair shop in the Calgary area. Ideally, it would be an individual or smaller shop with experience with the older Land Rovers, or at least a keen interest in taking this on. My regular shop is so busy with Range Rovers and 'modern' Land Rovers that they seem to give me the impression they are not that motivated. My immediate need is someone to look at an exhaust leak. (Check out my other post for the details.) They indicated they 'might' be able to look at it in January and suggested I contact Cetus Auto Repair. Feel free to send me a DM as this can sometimes be a touchy subject. Thanks in advance.
