I have a small leak on the y pipe at the joint below the driver's floorboard. It only ticks/clicks on a cold start for about 15 seconds. Any advice for getting this apart other easily. I have already tried tightening it up. I would like to remove both sides and apply some hi temp RTV and re-install.

Thanks,
Clayton

Yes. I can see the water shooting out too then it slows to a drip. Need to make a video and post.

Problem fixed. I noticed the connection wasn't fully seated from the factory. I put a ratchet strap between the two sides closed the gap. No more tick/click sound during warm up.

Same issue, same spot. Did you loosen the clamp in order to ratchet it back together and then tighten it up or just put a ******** it and crank it down? I had a hard time getting a wrench on it with the bolt installed from the top, but was tight as best as I could tell.
