Caprice NOx Sensor Exhaust Leak

Hey, I've got a potential issue with my 2014 Chevrolet Caprice with a gasoline engine. It's got 131182 km on it. The check engine light is on, and it's throwing a NOx sensor error. I've also noticed a minor exhaust leak. I'm wondering if it's just a bad cable or plug. Anyone seen this before?

Ugh, NOx sensor issues are the WORST! I had something similar happen with my Caprice. Is your catalytic converter acting up too? That's what happened to mine. Is the leak near the sensor itself?

Thanks! I haven't noticed anything specific with the catalytic converter, but I'll check it out. What symptoms did you have, and how did you fix it?

Well, the check engine light was always on, and the error code was for the emission sensor. I had a slight exhaust smell too, like you. I just took it to a shop; they found a bad connection and replaced the sensor. Saved me a headache. Honestly, with exhaust leaks, it's best to let the pros handle it.

Thanks for the help. I think I'll get it checked by a pro, especially with the exhaust leak. I'm scheduling an appointment with a good shop. They quoted me 95€ for the repair.
