Exhaust Leak?

I've been noticing an more than normal amount of exhaust smell when I'm riding around. Side note I do have the fairings off right now.

I want to check to see if I have an exhaust leak somewhere. Any tips on how to do this? I sprayed some brake cleaner on the exhaust manifold ports and didn't notice and engine surging. I also blew some ecig vapor over the exhaust manifold openings to see if the ecig vapor moved indicating a leak.

I noticed a little hole on the bottom of my exhaust that is spewing exhaust out. Is this hole supposed to be here?



Other methods to check for an exhaust leak?
