Trying to track down a pesky vacuum leak.

Okay so I tore off the UIM just checking everything out seeing if my gaskets are good blah blah. Just wanted to post up some pictures and see if anyone sees any abnormalities that I may miss. So far everything looks pretty legit (please no comments on the lack of catch can) but I would prefer another couple eyes. (Or more) There are only a few photos right now and I'm just giving a link to the album, if you would like to help or are just bored and would like more just lemme know.

Thanks in advance R0tards

What brought you to look for an intake leak?

One way to check is to have a buddy listen as you cover the intake with your hand any leaks will get louder.

Nice pics, but nothing I could see that was out of the ordinary. What about the blue oneway check is it good and tight? Or the lines under your car?
