Agree on the duct tape. Let's not think that the exhaust systems on
our aeroplanes are as sealed as on our autos. Exhaust gasses, if
leaking, could enter the cabin through small firewall holes if they
are not sealed properly.

Why?

If it's just the flexible tubing that carries the heated air from the heat
exchanger, there should be no danger of carbon monoxide getting into the
cabin.

Or do you think that carbon monoxide could get into the cabin from the
engine compartment through the tubing from some other leak in the engine
compartment? If that's the worry, I'd say there are other issues in his
engine compartment.

In the short term, BTW, duct tape works just fine as a "fix".
