Red substance from just after cat

[DavesXr8]

Just looking for my fuel filter which i found i also found a red liquid on the flange that has dried at the back of the cat not engine side seems to becoming from the weld at the flange not sure?

Its definately not an oil ie tranny fluid or there would be fluid on other parts of flange could it be fuel?

I use BP ultimate 98.

Any ideas?

Thanks Dave

dunno what it is, but i'd have a guess at gasket glue? excess thats been squeezed out when it's all be tightened??

Hopefully its a glue but the exhaust is about 3mths old and has gaskets in it didnt think theyd use glue and gasket not sure.

May have to get simon to look at it when i get the tune and maybe take back to exhaust dude.

Thanks mate

that would be my guess too, sometimes a gasket may not be enough, so they add sealant. but get simon to check it for you, just to put your mind at ease
