I was just driving then noticed the exhaust was weirdly loud and a hose was leaking water from the bottom of the car, also hose in engine bay is white.??

The top picture is a coolant hose from the header tank.

Is the bottom picture your air-conditioning condensation dripping onto the road (normal)?

Fluids aside.
Just check along the exhaust. I recently had a joint crack near one of the support points. Took the exhaust shop 5 minutes to seal it up..

Geese it sounded good before it let go......

I drive some rugged roads and tracks so probably just knocked something.... today it was a rattle because the bash plate was bent up and just touching the exhaust..... took 1 minute and a pull down on the plate to get the gap back...

2 visits to the muffler man.......Cost to date has been a case of beer...,

The white fallout on the coolant hoses is normal, it will come off with soapy water, then come back with use.
