OK I am pretty sure it is an exaust leak...

I am almost positive it is an exhaust leak around where the DP connects to the second cat (or the pipe that leads to that cat.) How bad is this? I ask because it is probably going to be a few days before I can fix it...Is this something I should shelf the car for those few days and drive something else....(Not like I have anything else..) Or am I ok driving it with this little leak for a few days? Thanks for all your help previously guys!

Are you stock? If so, go to the dealer to get it fixed. Also, make sure it's not just a/c condesation or an oil leak.
