Leak quest 2002

So Im still in search of the elusive vaccuum leak. Yetserday I noticed the car was spitting a bit of oil from underneath the UIM, so I thought to myself "Joy! Ill fix that and itll take care of my vaccuum leak as well!"

So I pulled it apart and sure enough on of my oil injectors on my intake mani was finger loose. I remedied that, looked at all 4 of my vac lines and put it back together. End result?

I STILL HAVE A DAMN LEAK!!!! Am I missing something here?

Time to get out the starting fluid - spray it slowly in any areas where there might be a leak - the engine will rev up/smooth out when it sucks it in. Great way to find tricky vacuum leaks.

uhmm... maybe remove all your emmisions, and replace the vital hoses with some new ones..? (lol.. thats all I can think of... or just listen over the noise of the engine (hey, it's worth a shot.... lol))
