Default Vacuum Leak

What the best way to find a vacuum leak?? I can hear it, I just can't seem to locate it. Is there any type of spray I can use to find it??

What? Engine degreaser?? I don't know what kind of engine degreaser you use, but I wouldn't want that **** in my engine.

A can of carburetor cleaner is the best thing to use. It won't harm your motor. Spray it around the vacuum lines and the intake manifold, the idle should go up when you are in the right area. That should get you close.
