started to see the exhaust pipe to start seeping water after the fiberglass insulation and before the hose attaching to muffler. Is it time to replace?

Yup. That is a sure sign it needs to be replaced.

I replaced mine from catalina direct and it was leaking at the same spot you are talking about after less than 1 year.Took it to a welding shop and they said it was not the best job of welding so they repaired it ,so far looks good

I think I have a slight leak somewhere too...or at least it smells like a slight amount of exhaust in engine compartment. Funny thing, when I put a carbon monoxide detector down there, it does not sound an alarm when the engine is running. Perhaps diesel engines do not put out a lot of carbon monoxide? Or perhaps certain m35 smells masquerade as exhaust? Will be looking into this further over the coming weeks.
Btw, just as an fyi, I wrote up my exhaust riser rebuild here 4 years ago (seems like yesterday):
