The next time you have the vehicle serviced ask to have the exhaust system inspected. Most service stations will give the vehicle a safety inspection (during an oil change) which would include the exhaust system at no extra charge. If you suspect there is a problem with the exhaust now, don't wait. Carbon monoxide fumes could be getting into the cabin area which can be deadly.

You can usually tell by the change in the engine noise, which will probably noticeably increase. You may also smell exhaust fumes entering the inside of the vehicle.
