Noticed it yesterday when I fired the 'ol girl up. Light amount of exhaust coming from right between the Y-pipe and pipe. Should I put a new donut gasket in there, new springs, or just leave it alone?

I wasn't sure if it was worth worrying about or not. I'll try to remember to dab some silicone on there if I get a chance.If you're concerend about it, a little thin layer of High -Temp silicone onto the do-nut, after you've wiped it down with Brakleen or lacquer thinner.

I was thinking it probably wouldn't hurt, I just need to find some hi-temp silicone and have at it.It's personal preference.
Some look at it as just an exhaust leak, I look at it as an intake leak with the fuel charge going past that point to the end of the pipe, so thats' why I would seal it, just my humble opinion.
Other than 15 minutes of your time, there's no downside to sealing it.
Leaking exhaust system makes a nasty mess under the hood if its not fixed. Leaves a nice black grundgy oil film on everything under the hood.

devil- no oil that I've noticed, but I haven't rode the sled yet this year. I just fired it up in the garage the other day and noticed the leak.
