How to find exhaust leak from headers?

How do you find out where exactly an exhaust leak is coming from? It's def on the drivers side, ticks pretty badly while driving. Any secrets to find it?

you can usually see soot marks where it is leaking, or you can start up the car and just feel for it.

Make sure all of your sparkplugs are tight... I just fixed the same problem on my Z that you are describing.
