Default R U sure no leaks, my VC were leaking in a place I could not see, until engine pulled OR it

could also be something like a plastic bag, bottle, etc. that hit exhaust pipe and left residue. I have ran over some plastic that was left in the road, and it came in contact with the exhaust and left some melted residue on the pipe that stunk for days afterward.
