Default Vaccume leak help

I have a vaccume leak and can't find it. Was wondering if anyone had a shop or knows of a shop with the smoke machine to pressurize it and check it near I10 from San Antonio to Panama City. Current traveling and would stop in on my teavels

You tried brake cleaner? Spay the motor while it's running an the rpm will raise up when you hit the spot

I did you mad cleaner found one, but can't find my other one. I'll try that video idea, was hoping to do a pressure one to since it more prevalent under boost according to justin at bb. Said I'm push 800hp worth of air, bit more then I want but I'm seeing maybe 450 worth of power, you'd think you could hear it but I can't over the exhaust and what not.

For some reason I thought Nelson was out east somewhere, in AL now, should have stopped there then, but past it by 700 miles now, some how made the whole 1400 mile trip
