1977 Other Dodge Models V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a exhaust manifold bolt snapped off. If there was a leak,like I'm sure that there is, could it be loud enough that it could be mistaken for the sound of worn connecting rod bearings? I really need to figure out what is wrong with this engine. I dont want to take it to a shop and them look at me or the motorhome and have big $$$$ in there eyes. This has already happened to me buying this unit.

Hi there,

Check for a leak with a length of garden hose, use it like a stethoscope you will soon hear any leak. normally this leak will sound like a loud tick.
