MN Need a little help please

Hi everyone, my name's Tanner, I bought my '85 GSL a few months ago and I've been having an unusually high idle (anywhere from 1000rpm-2000rpm). I believe it is a vacuum leak somewhere, but I'm not sure. I've also been having a problem with my parking break light, it seems to come on at times, but will go off after some time passes. I have one last question that I'm not sure about, but does my 1985 GSL have a rev limiter? Any help would be most appreciated!

It has a buzzer for high revs but no rev limiter.

Check this hose carefully.

Parking Brake indicator light is also a warning light for low brake fluid. Corroded Battery cables, terminals or grounding points can also cause this light to come on. If you haven't already, I would recommend replacing the original cables with new. They are commonly corroded inside where it is not visible. Start with the Negative cable.

Thank you, I'll have to check the hoses and wires soon, do you know of any good places to get these? I've been having troubles finding places with parts for 1st gens
