Gaskets can also be causes of possible vacuum leak, you might wanna check there to see if theres a "suction point". If yuore still convinced its a hose, just check the ones on the intake and all that goes to the mani

WTF? they scanned it and said you have a leak. You cant determine that from a OBD 2 reader . What you should do is go back and get the exact code #'s from the reader and come back and tell us what they are. That will make it alot easier for us

yea something's fishy there... get the code, if you can't find out exactly what it is let us know and we'll see if we can't find it. when you open the hood can you hear any hising?

Check your PCV valve. Actually go ahead and replace that, it's only a few bucks.
