You can also hear a sputtering sound coming from the pipes.

The origin of exhaust noise will change. Usually the noise comes from the back of the car: the exhaust outlets. With a leak, you will notice noise from a different location. Say under the car.

Well if every night "Dolly" has to be reinflated then I would say you have a leak somewhere.
