I found my air leak (in an interesting place) S90-V90

Finally found the last of my air leaks--and the last one was a doozey--
on the backside of the intake-back towards the driver,is the vacuum block that has 6 vacuum hoses coming off of it. I found two hoses that were cracked a few days ago by taking a tube and putting it to my ear, I could hear air hissing.
Found the two hoses that were cracked--but the interesting thing was after doing the fix --put the tube back to my ear and could still hear air moving.
Unhooked everything and took the vacuum block off-it's held on by one 10mm bolt
pulled the block out of the intake--where there should have been a rubber O ring--it had just about disintergrated--no#30 O ring from Lowes hardware and the fix is now complete--no air leaking now.
Hope that helps someone
