I hear hissing from intake side

I hear this hissing sound like a vacuum leak on the passenger side of the motor. It sounds like on every hit of the rotor maybe on intake. Anyone ever have this problem.

If the hiss happens when you step on gas, it's probably an intake leak. Check the intake hoses.

It's most likely just the surge from the charge relief vavle.
