RX-7 cacuum leak

I just bought a 1987 RX-7 non-turbo, and i know it has a vacuum leak, i'm just having trouble finding where. Is there a certain area where it's more common to get a leak than other places? The car is in very good shape for 20 yrs old, i've never had any problems with the vacuum leak. It's just something i want to take care of before something bad could happen. The car doesn't leak oil or gas, there aren't any operational problems with the car. Anyone have any pointers?
