6) Plug vacuum hose with thumb, repeat smoke, and look for smoke leaks.
7) Any were you see smoke, you got a vacuum leak.
Thank you buddy I will check that tomorrow I'm assuming this test has to be done with the engine running right?. Hopefully I've gotten rid of the vacuum leak: I remember a hissing sound after turning the engine off, today the noise seemed to be gone!.

Best regards,

Oscar

P.S I wonder where did the name of that test came from...
