Exhaust leak behind engine?

i got a problem with an exhaut leak in my 7mgte. the leak is coming from the back of the engine, by the firewall. not sure what it could be? i can't see nor when cold feel where its coming from.

if its the egr or related components, i was thinking of getting a block-off plate and geting rid of the egr. i've read that's not the best idea because that cools combustion temp. but it might be a cheaper fix.
