i have a 2000 v6 my issue is i hear a sputtering coming from like the back left hand side of my engine kinda around the valve cover when i rev my engine but not while idleing but im not sure if it is an exhaust leak or what it may be anyone have simular issues that may know what it is so i can get it fixed

 

welcome to the forum. might be the collector where the cats bolt up. on the driv side at the rear is a intake hose( runs up to the intake to bring air into the crankcase)
