A short section of hose can be a big help. One end at your ear and the other moving around the area you think might be leaking. As you approach the leaking area the noise will become more apparent at your ear.

If it is a NA engine the task is not bad, but a turbo increases the difficulty factor. The added work of changing out the turbo exhaust manifold gasket calls for the highest quality gasket set which are the ones purchased from Volvo. A bit pricey but you don't want to use a poor quality aftermarket set that might not last very long and then you would be facing the task again.

Even if you decide not to do the job yourself I would start spraying the exhaust manifold nuts with Kroil or PB Blaster now. Reapply on a regular basis to give you an advantage at removing the nuts without breaking a stud off. That adds a whole other twist to the job.
