Jake, your leak is an entirely different beast than the one I was describing near the muffler, but I would venture to guess that yours has been caused by a stress fracture. It looks to be in a spot that would see maximal stress from applying a load/force to your exhaust system. Do you have an aftermarket muffler? In that case the different muffler has a different hanging location and thus could have exacerbated the stress placed on your header pipes.
Also as a note, I would not bother using the cement on your header since the outer surface you are pointing to will see 600+ degrees C and no exhaust goo will withstand that, short of welding.
At the rear end, however, the exhaust goo sounds like the perfect fix and in fact I will try it out and see if it seals up nicely.
