If the check dashboard light came on, it may mean your dashboard is loose.
Tighten it and the light will go out.

OTOH, if the check engine light came on, it could  be 20 or 30 things from
simple to complex, none probably from an exhaust leak.  Loose gas cap (takes
15 or so starts before it goes off again) oxygen sensor, ignition problem,
etc.

On the contrary: my 2001 Accent had precisely that problem. The front
exhaust pipe sprung a leak, causing the check engine light to come on. It
was quite audible: the guy at the dealer pronounced an exhaust leak by ear
as soon as I pulled in. They replaced the pipe under warranty, and the
engine light never came on since.

Have your local AutoZone read the diagnostic trouble codes for you.
Then post them here or check out the service manual at
www.hmaservice.com to find out what the codes mean
