Vacuum Leak
I'm new to the Corvette world and keep hearing how important vacuum leaks are, the problem I have is when I shut off the car I hear a hissing sound under the plenum, I tore apart the plenum and found the EGR Solenoid didn't have vacuum hoses on some of the ports. I figured they got rid of some of the EGR and didn't plug the ports. I bought some caps and covered them but still hear the noise. Can any one offer me advice? I have the car torn down now because im replacing the water pump.
Thanks
