Default Fix car vacuum line with propane torch

And, how does that fix the leak? Would the subject line better read "FIND"
car vacuum LEAK?

I ran across this tip and thought it screwy enough for folks here to add to
their repertoire of "tricks my granddaddy taught me."

Open the valve on the propane torch a little bit. With the engine running,
wand the (unlit) torch over and around the vacuum lines. When the engine
speeds up, you've found the leak.

such a good friend.
