Get it running, and jack the car up so you can get underneath easily.

Grab yourself a little piece of paper, and offer that up to where you think it is blowing from. If there is a leak the piece of paper will be blown over, if not it will stay the same.

Also, you can look for signs of black residue around the joining pieces, another sign of a leak.

Shouldn't be any holes though if its new, probably a dodgy joint or gasket, are all the bolts tightened OK?

start car, get assistan to place a rag over the tail pipe, listen and look under vehicle for prominent blowing sounds and small droplets of liquid spititng out... joint s are usually to blame.

usually blows at the corner section before it goes over the axle you should see some blackness or water dripping
