Your car has a series of pipes going from your engine to your tailpipe including your muffler. The pipes are supposed to be air tight (welded or clamped). These connections sometimes work loose and you may notice the engine seeme louder. That's an exhaust leak.

Annoying! 
An exhaust leak is a place somewhere in your exhaust system where exhaust is escaping. It can be caused by a bad gasket, cracked manifold, loose bolts or even a pin hole from rust.
You can hear an exhaust leak if your car has one. It is a tick tick tick sound if it is small or just a lot of noise if it ia a major leak.

Most exhaust leaks are fixable without having to buy new parts other than a cheap gasket. They are usually a pain in the rear to replace, but with a little patience it can be done.
