I can feel the air coming from that hole!

If the hole is thru the manifold, you would need to wear asbestos gloves.  It would fry anything nearby.  At idle the exhaust is about 600F and running hard 1000-1200F

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

Well that hole is too far down towards the back of the mani to be a heat shield bolt. I would try to work a mirror behind that area check for cracks.

If everybody in the room is thinking the same thing, then someone is not thinking.

Assume the metal clunk you heard was whatever a PO had attached there (welded/threaded) falling off.

If the hole is threaded you can fix it with a bolt, if not, some welding required.
