Hi there, I am sorry but i don't quite understand the first part of the question, but if the exhaust is fixed then all is ok there, as for the coolant leak, you will need to get a cooling system pressure test done, including the pressure cap, this will show up any small external leaks, have this test done first, it will take only a few Minuit's to do.
