A can of carb cleaner works pretty well (old trick too). Just lightly
spray around any vacuum ports or manifold gasket area and watch the
idle. If it fluctuates, there's a leak. (Just don't try to get the
spray into the TB - gives false readings).

Howdy.

How does one go about checking for vacuum leaks? What are typical
symptoms of a vehicle running with a vacuum leak?
