If it's a leaking exhaust manifold you'll hear it just like you would a lifter tick

Would this be more accurate than using a mechanic's stethoscope? Using the stethoscope I hear the ticking everywhere although I thought it was the strongest when I touched the bottom of the manifold.
I am planning a smoke test using a DIY smoke machine (a lot of info online) and see what happens..
