Common exhaust leaks

Do our cars have common exhaust leaks? Besides the donut? Cars completely stock but seems to have a bit of an exhaust leak that goes away when warm. Can hear it more on the drivers side. Turbo was replaced 10k miles ago builds boost just fine but a little loud (can hear with windows down but not with them up)for a few minutes then seems to go away. Any thoughts? Been thinking about replacing the header gaskets as well as cross over pipe gaskets and see what that does...

Check the flange where the manifold is attached to the block. They can crack right in the middle of the flange. If you're lucky maybe only the gasket because the exhaust manifold heat slightly warped it from the intense heating and cooling. That's the only spot that would change starting the car stone cold to op temp.
