Can I drive my 2016 Mitzubishi Outlander Sport with an exhaust leak?

What is your question?

My check engine light came on the other day and I checked the usual suspects, the gas cap, and oil and those were both fine. I do notice a faint gas smell in the car when I start it and drive a little, and I've noticed my car is making alittle more noise than usual too. I assume it's an exhaust leak or a muffler problem, or a combination thereof. I have an oil change coming up in a few days, my question is can I still drive my vehicle and be safe?

How long has your 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport had this problem?

a few days
