Any tricks to help locate an exhaust leak? Can't find it but can smell it when driving.

Plug the tailpipe with a rag over your hand, you should hear hissing from wherever the leak is.
You might find a helper useful, and also need to get the car in the air so you can have a good look.

I usually run the car up on jackstands and roll under it and check all the connections first. You can usually hear it spitting in the area that's leaking. Holding your hand near the spot without actually touching it, you should be able to feel the pulses against your hand.
