Found huge vac leak. With Pics

Well I think this might be a big vac leak. I just need to get new bolts to put it back on, anyone know what size threads are here?

2nd Pic: The plate that wasnt even on. It still has a pinhole, I dont know what from. I think it should be plugged.

3rd Pic, off topic but what is this and where does it go?

What you have in your 1st picture is the fresh air supply for the catalytic converter.
It would not cause a vacuum leak.

That 3rd pic is definately for the charcoal canister. Its the small line that goes back to the gas tank and vents the tank.
