Exhaust LEAK HELP
When I start my car in the morning I notice a puttering sound from the front. It sounds like it comes from the exhaust manifold or maybe where the front of the cat bolts on. HAs anyone had similar problems on a 01 x5 4.4? If anyone knows how to access this area please let me know. I was thinking I might have to take off the the inner wheel well plastic cover?

Just take it to an exhaust shop like Meineke and have them look at while it's on a lift.

Did that. They couldn't find the leak because the car was too hot.
