Sounds like the manifold is cracked. Does it make a dull blowing sound when you start the engine? Generally cracks through the centre and there will be black smoke on the underside of the heat shield. Lee

Hard to say but you'll prob be ok for a while 
Be aware that exhaust gasses may enter the cabin - not good.
