As long as the engine runs for the MOT thats all they want providing the emissions are ok.
If you can hear the hissing then it is not going to be long before it gives up alltogether, you are best off getting it fixed now, it is a job that you could do with a little time and effort, you may ned to get the head skimmed if it has warped, would cost you maybe £150 in parts and you will know the job has been done well.

That's what I was thinking, it could be the exhaust manifold gasket
