Default Exhaust leak. :(

I started my truck yesterday to the sound of an exhaust leak. It remained for a few minutes but once the truck warmed up it went away. It continues this pattern. Leaks 'til it warms up then quits. I haven't got a chance to investigate further but I see a trip to the dealer in my future. My truck has 19k miles...would this be under warranty?

how can you tell it is an exhaust leak? What type of sound does it make from regular exhaust?

Makes a loud ticking sound when the motor is cold that mostly goes away when it warms up.
