To check that vacuum line under #1 cyl, with a cold engine, feel for it with your fingers so you know where it is. A small portion should be visible close to the PS pump. One of those pressure clamps is holding it to the manifold.
Start the engine, and then feel again for leaks. When I replaced my oil separator lines about 3 years ago, the connections looked good. When I replaced the line going to the PTC nipple, the internal vacuum line 'cracked' probably due to age.
The entire proicedure to replace the oil separator and lines should take about 5 hours, note that all work is done from above except looking for dropped nuts. It was suggested that the front of the car be up on ramps to save bending over so much!! I also used an OEM manifold gasket, the one from FCP was a piece of garbage.
