Question: How much should it cost to repair my muffler leak

I just started hearing the loud noise that comes with a muffler pipe leak. I confirmed that one of the pipe sections at the front end of my car has a hole. Will I have to have the entire muffler system replaced or can the hole be repaired, or just that section replaced? At the same time I started hearing squeeking that sounds like it's coming from an engine belt, is there any relation?

    The fan belt may be loose or contaminated with oil it would be unrelated to the exhaust leak. The exhaust leak would need to be inspected to see what needs to be replaced. Go to an independent repair shop or muffler specialty shop to get a quote.
