Up-pipe/Exhaust Leak Question - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

The up-pipe on my car needs to be replaced/fixed. It is leaking air right now, but I don't have time to fix it. My question is, will this do any damage to my engine/turbo if I drive it as it is? Thanks for any info.

up pipe is pre turbo exhaust piping right?
if so exhaust gases are hot- the leaking gases could melt plastic and rubber in your engine bay.
