If you get close to an exhaust leak, you will know it immediately.

The exhaust leak will also be slightly louder under a slight load, so best way is to have someone in the car (that you TRUST) put it in drive with their foot on the brake and give it just enough gas to get it over 1000 rpm. Exhaust noise will be more pronounced.

Good luck.
Thanks Lynn, I will try the no probe listening.

My car is a 4 speed so I will have my hunny rev it up a little.
