Exhaust Center Pipe Leak
My RX's center pipe is leaking at a hanger bracket weld between the cat and resonator. Anyone know if this can be welded? Hoping to not replace since the center pipe is otherwise in pretty good shape.

Condensation! When the car is completely cold start it up and get immediately underneath and look for water dripping. The same condensation that normally exits the tail pipe of a just-cold-started car will make its way out of the leak. In my case the hanger weld area was wet and dripping. After the car has been running for a couple of minutes the evidence (water) will be gone.

Hijack of an old thread - I had the same problem, sensor actually came loose from the exhaust. Used my mig to weld an oversize nuts on what was left of the studs and was able to back the remaining portion of the studs out. New stuts, nuts and gasket are about $20.00. From this thread I now realize I need to also get the shield.
