Cracked manifold??

My 92 4.2 GQ is wheezing like an old goat. . . .

Exhaust is leaking but I can't see where. It seems to be coming from the manifold somewhere above where it joins the exhaust.

Maybe a manifold gasket or perhaps (&^%$#@!) a cracked manifold.

Any easy way to determine where it is leaking?

Thanks in advance,
Graham

Pour soapy water around it perhaps? (when cold)

you should be able to see back marks around where it is leaking. if you were to get a hose and put one end to your ear and move the other end around where you think its leaking you should be able to hear exactly where it is.
