Where does an async Task throw Exception if it is not awaited?

Question

I have the following example: (please also read comments in code, as it will make more sense )

public async Task> MyAsyncMethod() 
{

I use an extension method for generic error handling on Task. This provides a way to both log all errors and do a custom action if an error occurs.

public static async void ErrorHandle(this Task task, Action action = null)
{
    try
    {
        await task.ConfigureAwait(false);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Log.Error(e);
        if (action != null)
            action();
    }
}

I tend to use it when I do a "fire and forget" Task:

Task.Run(() => ProcessData(token), token).ErrorHandle(OnError);
