alright guys, my cars is running rough like always but i think i found part of the problem, just down the from the drivers side valve cover, theres 2 copper coloured pipes leading into the exaust manifolds(i'm pretty sure thats what it is). what are those 2 copper hoses?

might be egr or air pump.


is the copper pipe ribbed ?

hmm i probably should check that on my car too mines running really rough and loud

no, it might actually be silver

but its not ribbed? what exactly is it leaking? exhaust? oil? gas?

I think those are your egr piping tubes, they run behind the motor. They split and go into one pipe right?

yep
egr piping, i looked today (it was dark last night) and figured out it was the egr, its got a bubbling happening (like a wet tire with a leak) right where it enters the exaust manifold

could that be making my car run so damn ****ty?

I don't know if an exhuast leak could make your car run to bad, and you said it is small. It may change emissions things though. I know i had to replace that on mine along with the metal tube that runs behind the motor. PITA How is your car running?

just get a tube of muffler cement and cover the hole in the egr tube
