The vacuum line you are looking for it the small upper-most line on the intake manifold. This is the line that provides vacuum for the crankcase ventilation system.) Remove the line, and remove the brass nipple -- I think it requires a 10mm wrench. Most likely, the nipple AND the vacuum hose are plugged solid. Use a small drill bit or a nail to unclog the nipple, and get a new lenght of vacuum hose. I found some great brown/orange silicone vacuum hose at Napa. It's much better than the Volvo rubber stuff. It comes pre-packaged in 8 or 10 foot lengths. It's good stuff to have around when you're working on cars.
That should take care of your crankcase pressure problem.
