Whats the easiest way to tell if I have an exhaust leak. Ive changed the passenger side gasket recently so I know its not that. Gimme some idea please, I'm gonna have some extra time saturday morning and I'm almost positive I have a leak somewhere.

Ummm, a ticking noise when accelerating is a sign sometimes, check the exhaust manifold gasket between it and the heads, also a louder than normal exhaust sound... not that that would be bad or anything

what about a tick during idle?

Temporarily plug the exhaust pipe. You'll hear it hissing out of the hole. If you do it with a cold engine on a cool morning you'll see the water vapor condensing when it hits the cool air.
