Hey all,
Started hearing an exhaust leak. Took it to a muffler shop and they said its part of the air pump. He said its an OEM part would have to get from the dealer. Does anyone know what this is or if I can get it from anyone else. How hard is it to replace?
Thanks

Air pump stuff is not difficult except the fittings the attach to the manifolds. They get sticky. Pics of what is broken please?

Pics and movie

Here is a pic of the AIR hose and a movie of what the exhaust leak sounds like.
I got a delco part # of 219-238 or 239 from Oreilly's but he couldn't get em. Movie wouldn't upload.
Any suggestions on getting those bolts off with out breaking off, being exhaust!!

The dealer can get those for you. For removal use 6 point wrap around wrench like a flare or crows foot type if on the line itself otherwise six point socket and maybe a few instances of chemicals like wd-40.

Roger that wd 40. Dealer can get em. 80 bucks. GM shows 46 left in the whole system. Not sure what people will do when those are gone. There's a few of these vehicles on the road.

Just received a call from the muffler shop after 3 days. It is the EGR tube that was bad. Not the AIR pipe. Looks a little more available.
