well found both my exaust and coolant problem. I couldnt feel anything from up top, but once I got it jacked up and actually got all the way under it found out the manifold to downpipe gasket (bottom side) is pretty much gone. SO, what is the best fix for that. I have some pics below.
coolant appears to be the lower coolant elbow. they are plastic still. the bottom one is wet and after further inspection the belt is picking up drips etc and slinging it around the engine bay... SO, new water pump and coolant elbows are in the near future. I happen to have some of the aluminum ones from autozone in my tool box!pretty happy with those two outcomes. cheap and "easy". cheaper than easier in this scenario.
