suggust how to find it? i can cleary hear it hissing at a steady rate. a placed my hands on all the hoses and felt no leaks.it seems to be coming from the passenger side near the firewall but not next to it, probaby below the intake manifold somewhere. i even jacked up the car and inspected the hoses but did not find the problem. could it be that it is the intake manifold?. by the way i had the head rebuilt six months ago and they put a gasket set on. please help my car is at 1200 rpm at idle. loosing $$ wasting gas
 
Try pinching the line shut starting from where they all connect and work your way out. When you pinch the line that has the leak somewhere down the line, the idle on the car should drop. THen work your way down that line you should eventually find the source if a vacuum leak is what is causing the problem in the first place.
