EGR vacuum relay?

I just installed my missing EGR relay that attaches on one of the thermostat bolts. The issue is I think it's leaking vacuum when it's switched on. It has 2 vacuum connections that are in the plug and one on the other end of the relay that looks like it should have somehting on it. It has a metal clip on it that looks like it holds a hose from coming off or a plug maybe. Does anybody have a picture of this or can tell me if yours has a plug on it or a vacuum line? I don't see more than 2 connections on the vacuum diagram but I don't know. Thanks.

No vac line to the little clip. PM me your email address and I can send a pic, if needed.

Does it have a plug or anything on it? Or is it just the clip? I'm wondering if it supposed to have a plug to keep the vacuum from leaking out. I would imagine they used the relay on more than one model.
If you have a pic that would be great.

Thanks

Pic is clear but it's kind of blocked by the hard line. It does look like there nothing else there.

There are two vacuum connections to the EGR sol:
-vacuum source
-vacuum to the EGR Valve
The other opening is just the air bleed input.

Makes sense.

That makes sense. I'll have to check another place for my leak. I may have an EGR that's leaking. It didn't start running rough until I put the EGR controls back on it. It only starts doing it after it warms up.
