You can do a exhaust leak check by getting a towel/rag and cover up the tail pipe. Dont stuff it in, just wrap it with the towel/rag after the car is started. Then on idle, any leak will be magnified and easy to find.

Right after the engine block will be the exhaust manifold then the midpipe connects to that . Could be the 2 bolts are loose.

Yesterday It snowed very heavily and was pretty cold out (-15 degree celcius) or so and I took a peak underneath and saw smoke or exhaust trickling out underneath the passenger/driver area. I must've of hit something on the highway or perhaps a rock got launched under to start the rusting of this exhaust leak problem
