   Can't source where it is but can hear it spitting air.
   
   wondering how i solve the problem, can it be repaired with welding or will i need a new exhaust system?

   Exhaust putty. Easy fix. Just check the full exhaust for black carbon deposits then you will find the hole. Common places are around the lambada welds

   Turns out the exhaust has pulled away from the mani slighly, probs from the speed humps.
   
   Caked the exhaust putty on until i get the new system
