3.1 V6 Ticking in Drive but not in Park

Hey everyone I have this tick on the pass side manifold. Sounds like an exhaust leak when driving but when put into park or neutral it is gone No matter what rpm I rev it too. What can it be. I've heard maybe flex plate or..? I also have a slight wobble on the harmonic balancer if that helps diagnose the problem

Hi there,
I would suspect an exhaust leak also. You probably don't hear any ticking in neutral or park because the engine is not under load.
