think i may have found my vac leak (pic)

should i have blocked this off? i did the throttle body mod and i'm guessing i forgot to block this hole where the thermowax was. could this be my vacuum leak?

lol is that like Jbweld/liquid nails and a Dime!

I'm guessing your using the dime to hold the compund in while it hardens and it's not there permanently right?

It's only a coolant port. That's where the coolant leaves the thermowax and flows up to the nipple on top of the TB. No vac leak here, except maybe that coin. I wouldn't expect that to last...

You guys kill me. A pack of 1/8" NPT plugs is next to nothing. Get those and the tap and you'll never have to worry about something falling into the intake or creating a leak.
