Your Exhaust Manifold Gasket is a multi-layered gasket that gives a tight seal at the connection where the engine meets the exhaust system. If the Exhaust Manifold Gasket is operating properly, it maintains pressure in your vehicle's exhaust system so any combustion byproducts and fumes are drawn out of the hood compartment and away from the engine and surrounding systems.
If you start to hear sputtering, tapping, or high-pitched hissing noises under the hood (especially when you first start your Nissan), a damaged Exhaust Manifold Gasket could be the culprit. A leak in your Nissan Exhaust Manifold Gasket can cause exhaust gases to be trapped in the space beneath the front hood. In turn, those harmful gases can diminish your engine's performance over time. Exhaust gases can reach extreme temperatures, which means that a compromised seal from the Exhaust Manifold Gasket can also cause burns that can melt or warp adjacent components under the hood. In those cases, you'll likely detect a burning plastic smell, and you might see smoke seeping out from the sides of your hood, as well.
Your Nissan can't get you anywhere with a compromised engine, so a leaking Exhaust Manifold Gasket is one repair you should look into fixing as soon as possible. If it's time to replace your Exhaust Manifold Gasket, turn to Nissan Genuine Parts. Order parts directly from the source for a tailor-made, reliable fit, then head to the closest authorized Nissan service center for installation and other engine care services.
