Something you can try, If you use a pair of needle nose pliers and can ,see the vacuum lines, Gently clamp the individual lines . Hopefully one of them will be supplying the line or component that is leaking the vacuum. There should be one line supplying vacuum to the inside of the vehicle. If you locate that line which either comes off the intake manifold or a junction from the intake manifold, remove it and blow some smoke through it , it should exit out the location of the leak.
