Default vacum

Does anybody know some kind of tricks to finding a vacum leak?

My car has one and I've tryed everything! I've taken the intake manifold off like 4 times and put it back together slowly and carefully. But still!

best way to find a vacuum leak:
go to your local parts store and buy an aerosol can of air intake cleaner.
get that, crank your car up, and spray each and every vacuum point with the cleaner. If your idle drops suddenly or makes any unusual changes, thats where your leak is. your idle will drop because the intake cleaner is flooding the engine.
