So I'm tracing a vacuum leak and cant find a clear diagram for the vacuum lines on the s52 manifold. Bently has nothing clear, nor does real OEM. I have been searching for hours to no avail....can anybody help?

I hooked a smoke machine up to the car and smoke is puffing out of a very small diameter nipple right beside where the ICV goes into the intake manifold. No hose is attached and I cant seem to find one that should go there...maybe its unused and needs a vacuum cap on it? If anybody has a clear diagram that would be great, thanks guys.

here is the only relevant thread I could find, its number 5 or 6 in his drawing and there seems to be conflicting opinions in the thread as to what should be attached to these nipples

You know where your egr valve is? If so, theres a line that goes from the egr to a small nipple just behind the throttle body, into the intake manifold. Big pita with the manifold on. I went to a local junkyard and figured out the routing on another car, then did mine...good luck!
