Default Vacuum leak...

While tracking down a vacuum leak today AND changing the PCV valve, I found a hole in the valve carrier hose, you could have put finger in.

Fixed with new hose valve carrier and a few clamps and all is well ...just a heads up.

Sort of surprised it lasted as long as it did.
