I had one go out and blew out a little coolant out, made a hissing noise. Got lucky and didn’t mix with oil or anythingDoesn't a blown head gasket make a big swooosh sound
Do you have another budget friendly method without tobacco? At least a pipe does not smell as bad.with the engine OFF, you can make a cheap home made smoke machine with a $7 Harbor Freight syphon pump and a cheap thin $1 stogie. Take the hose off the vacuum pump that PUSHES the air and stick it in one of the exhaust pipes and tape it in the pipe. Tape over both exhaust pipe openings. Then light the stogie and stick the unlit end in the opening of the vacuum pump that sucks in the air and start pumping away. it will push the smoke from the stogie up through the exhaust and back up to the headers and engine block. If you have someone as a helper, have them look under the car and under the hood as you are pumping for smoke coming out where any leak is. You can also do the exact same thing by hooking up the hose from the pump to any vacuum hose going into the intake manifold- from the brake booster, PCV valve, purge cannister. As you pump in the smoke again look for any smoke coming from the engine, hoses,, etc. That would be a vacuum leak.
I have used this cheap pump for years and it works wonders finding these types of leaks.

Burning weeds still smell bad. But it at least reminds me of the haze at live concerts.You could use some pot, problem is after a few minutes you won't care if it leaks or notif you even remember why you did it.

Did he fix his psssst noise? buy a can of starting fluid! spray the hoses, it will either pick speed or stall out when ya spray near the leak$800 headers? WTF. Wish I was closer to you, I'd come over to help you for free.
Did ya fix the noise?i have a 1991 fox body gt convertible. one day it started making a LOUD hissing noise! had a few people come out and take a look at it. EVERYONE said it was the headers. i replaced the header (almost 800 dollars later) and the noise continues. no one seems to be able to tell me what is really wrong with my car. the noise comes from the back right side of the motor and maybe even towards the back. is sounds exactly like a PIST sound but loud. can anyone please help me.
