Question Do I have an exhaust leak?

Hello all. I have a 2016 Suburban with right about 37,000 miles. When it is first started, cold start, it sounds like there is an exhaust leak directly under the front passenger floorboard. The sound goes away after about 10-15 seconds. It doesn't return unless the vehicle is started when it's cold. Am I looking at a potential exhaust leak or am I just being paranoid?

nope. have a look for broken bolts. if a heat shield is present, pull on the shield, if you can pull the shield back, the bolt under it is probably broken.
