The sould is coming from under the car in the middle between the front seats and engine - so that sounds to me like it would be the cat, however only got the car the other day so have not had a change to look at how it goes together under there. I'm going to put it on ramps tonight and check it out. Has anyone changed the Cat before and is it straight forward

I must have knocked it somehow.
It also looks like the hearer matrix is gone, i'm seeing puddles in the footwells and the fluid smells the same as that in the water bottle.
Looks like a bought a total pile of s**t
