Nope but it looks like you have one now. You really butchered up the LIM/UIM mating surfaces.

An easy way to find a vacuum leak is to let the car idle, and spray carb cleaner (without starting a fire) around the engine bay and listen for idle changes. This will give you a general idea where the leak is located. You can also use starter fluid.
