Default exhaust question

I dont know if i bew a header gasket or a flange gasket....I got on the it a little and the next thing i know i hear a bad exhuast leak...when i pull up into the drive way i car see smoke coming from the engine bay and a little from behind the car....when i look down while the car is running i cant tell if it is coming from the header or from the header,xpipe...if it is a hear leak i know they are a pain to fix...could i try to spray high temp copper gasket on it ? I feel like an idiot admiting this but when i did the head swap my exhuast gaskets were back ordered 3 week so the header gasket was still in good condition, so i re uesed that....My friend said he used rtv gasket makes for the header x pipe flange...man...n e ideas?
