Default Driver side exhaust manifold leak. Getting worse

Im in a bit of a bind right now, i got a driver side exhaust manifold leak, it started out in the fall but now it seems it is getting worse and louder, with the colder weather "20 degrees in ohio" and the fumes are killing me in the cab, just got tint done so i cant roll down the windows for a couple days. I was hoping to leave it alone till i get my tax return for some headers. will I be alright till then or is this something i should take care of now. Thanks in advance!

You will be fine. Its just an annoyance more than anything. If you get headers tho get good ones you don't want them rusting out

Yah youll be fine, exhaust leaks dont hurt your truck, there just really annoying from the ticking/whistling sound it makes. If you want a quick fix go to kragen and get thermosteel its basically jb weld but made for hot things, it lasts to 2000*-2500* instead of 600*-700* like jb
