This should be in the engine compartment. If there is a leak, you may hear a whistling sound or an inhaling sound. There are quite a few vacuum hoses. Look for any hoses (generally under 1/2" diameter) that may be cracked or loose. Any hoses on the manifold that don't have clamps can be removed easily. Pull one off with the engine running and feel the suction of the vacuum. This will hopefully give you an idea of what you may be looking for.

Is the engine stumbling while running? Often this can indicate a vacuum leak but there can be other causes as well. What are your symptoms?

See you then,

Andy
