Default Would this happen to be an exhaust leak?
Today i did some things that ive been wanting to do for a while. Rolled fenders, adjusted coilovers, and put on some Golfrsi S4 caliper logos. while i was doing this i just poked my head under there to see if everything was okay and i saw this...

Only a big deal if you hear it and it bothers you. Other than that, you are fine.

No, you will not gain or lose any HP from a small leak in that location.
