Exhaust leak?????

I have a 1987 300zx turbo. I have a pingy knock coming from the powersteering side of the engine. It sounded like it was coiming from the pump, but it wasnt. I decided to check for an exhaust leak. I then realized how hard it will be to get to. Has anyone done it before and know any secrets or tips? I need to know how to check it out and what to look for. Any special tools, or just a lot of patience? Thanks alot!!!

I took the exhaust manifold off and it turns out i had a broken bolt. that caused an exhaust leak and made the noise. i had to use a right angled drill. It took forever, but its out now and sounds fine.

Is English your first language? Or maybe your first attempt at a language?
