Most probably a leak. Do you get any poping sounds in your exhaust?

I have the same exact problem. Ends up the air tube crap on my passenger side header has broken off from the header and I have no flipping clue what to do since I cant see how you could get in there to re-weld it.

Sounds like an Exhaust leak.
As far as your AIR problem, I would see if you can plug it, rather than weld it.
