stupid question maybe....

i was just wondering the best way i would go about to check if my car has a exhaust leak. i had a major hole in my flex pipe before so i had that along with everything past the cat changed at a meineke, but now i swear i hear a minor one when i'm cruising along. i have teh warranty on it, but i'm afraid if i walk in there waving that around they will "inspect" it and say there is nothing wrong with it. anyone have any idea how i can do a quick check myself? thanks for your time
