DO not use soap and water or anything cold, the header will crack....

Check for a hissing sound of some sort when you throttle. If you can't distinguish the sounds...I would consult a someone knowledgeable like a mechanic.

Also, you'll feel the exhaust gasses coming out if you put your hand there. Look for moving air where there shouldn't be moving air.
