I don't need to block the pipes to feel the exhaust leaking. When I looked to see where the hoses from the EGR went to, I could feel (and smell) the exhaust fumes on my face when I got close to the EGR. I'm not too happy about that. I'm hoping the Ford dealership I'm getting it towed to in a few minutes doesn't try to worm out of the 8 year/80,000 mile emissions warranty. I'll give you guys an update when I get more info from them.
Thank you for the help. I might still need more, hopefully not.
