Well today i jacked the car up to see were the exhaust was blowing and i couldnt find the source.

This might suppose to happen but i have never witnessed it before.

I had one wheel up off the ground. I turned the engine on and it started to spin. The hand brake was on and it was in neutral.

Why does this happen?
Check out that exhaust blowing sounds like a tank but i couldnt find a hole anywhere

perfectly normal mate, i think its the fluid flow around the gearbox that does it. It'll stop really easily if you put something in the way. Shows your callipers aren't sticking too, and that your discs aren't warped.

As for the exhaust, get a mate to briefly block the end and the leak will really show itself then

It started when i went i drove over a pot hole and raised ice on a country road it ripped my lower splitter off and fooked my gearbox.

Its very loud so i thought its blowing before it even gets to a silencer bit.
