exhaust fumes.

So exhaust fumes are leaking in through my air vents. My question is can anyone tell me where the leak might be or how to locate the leak?

Could be a leaking manifold connection at the downpipe. The only way I know to locate a leak like that is to just feel for it while it's running. I know it's not the best idea around hot manifolds but I've done it for years to find leaks. I'm sure someone has a better way but that's what I do. I usually do this from a cold start so at least the exhaust system is cold to start with. Just move quick and check all the connections before they heat up.
