Unhappy Where's the !*$ Vacuum Leak

I need help in identifying a vacuum leak. I can hear it but I am not able to identify which line it is coming from. I tried to bend and pull all lines to see if there was a difference, but didn't hear any.

I heard you can use oil on a Harley, but I am afraid, 'cause where does the stuff get sucked into?

Any suggestions?

I got the leak having the car loaded with lugage and parents, hit a pot hole and my Battery light came on at the next Stop light. Idle totally low, performance crappy and milage cut in half.

Thanks,

Joopa

the easiest wayt o find a vaccum leak is to get a can of carb cleaner or starting fluid andspray your vaccum lines....if the idel goes up or you hear a change in the idel when your spraying a certain part your vaccum leak is in that area.
