[C320-list] Exhaust question

[Dennis Cookson]

Lou, make sure that water is coming out of the exhaust outlet on aft port side along with the exhaust gases. 

Before starting the engine, go into the aft cabin and remove the rear engine cover. Then with engine idling examine the route from heat exchanger to exhaust elbow to muffler to outlet and ensure there are no leaks.  Good luck.

That was replaced along with an exhaust hose that had reached the end of its life. Was ready to get  out on the water and marina said there is an exhaust leak that needs fixing. I’m more of a sailor than a mechanic, still learning. What else in the exhaust circuit could be leaking or would it just be one of the fittings to that they replaced ?
