VACUUM LEAK? 850 1995

1995 850 AUTOMATIC WAGON W/ EGR. I KEEP GETTING A 2-3-1 CODE.
I REPLACED THE VACUUM "TOWER" BECAUSE IT WAS DAMAGED. CLEANED EGR AND THROTTLE BODY INCLUDING EGR BREATHER HOLE. REPLACED ALL THE VACCUM HOSES.
I CAN'T FIND THE OTHER ELBOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BY THE POWER STEERING PUMP THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.
ANYONE HAVE PICTURES OF AN ENGINE? I HAVE THREE INSTEAD OF TWO HOSES COMING OUT OF THE VACCUM TOWER. I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING IN MY HAYNES ABOUT IT. I'M A NEW VOLVO OWNER (PREVIOUS BMW GUY). HELP... PLEASE.

    I'VE HEARD SOME CARS DON'T HAVE IT. MAYBE THE ONE'S WITH EGR?
    I SEE THE AREA, BUT IT LOOKS AND FEELS SMOOTH WITH NO SIGNS OF ANY NIPPLE OR ANYTHING IN THAT AREA. CAN'T GET RID OF THAT BLASTED 2-3-1 !!!!!
    THANKS FOR THE REPLY.

    Check volovospeed.com (bay 13) for a pic of that elbow on the manifold passenger side. Take a flashlight and look down and behind the thermostat. It's a tight space but you'll see it. The elbow possibly dried out and fell apart

      THANKS B.L..I'VE BEEN ON BAY 13 AND CANNOT FIND THAT DAMN ELBOW OR ANY TYPE OF NIPPLE THAT IT WOULD GO TO. I STILL DON'T THINK MY HAS THE ELBOW ON THE SIDE OF THE MANIFOLD.
      IT IS COMPLETELY FLUSH LIKE THEY STOPED PUTTING ONE THERE. I'LL HAVE TO LOCATE MY VIN AND POST IT. ANY IDEA'S WHAT PRODUCTION RUN THEY MAY HAVE DELETED THAT HOSE?
      EXACTLY HOW MAY HOSES ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN OFF THE "VACUUM TOWER"? I HAVE THREE HOSED COMING OFF WITH TWO CAPPED. I NEED SOME KIND OF DIAGRAM.
      I CLEANED THE EGR AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT. I DID CLEAR THE CODE FOR NO FLOW TO EGR. NOW ALL I GET IS THE 2-3-1. FREE LUNCH TO WHOEVER FIGURES IT OUT.
      I'M SERIOUS. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN NASHVILLE JUST SAID I NEEDED A NEW EGR. THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AFTER I REPAIRED AND CLEAERED THAT EGR CODE FOREVER..... FREE LUNCH. NAME YOUR PLACE AND I'LL SEND OUT A GIFT CERTIFICATE. OR I CAN GET ANY ONE SOME GREAT DEALS ON BMW/MINI PARTS (UNLESS I GET KICKED OUT FOR MENTIONING THOSE BRANDS)! THANKS A MILLION.
