Default Vacuum leak on a 2000 Mustang

I have a 2000 mustang with the 3.8 V6 engine. The car appears to be running ok but when I was driving down the road yesterday the engine light came on. I took it to Autozone to get a Code run and was told I have a vacuum leak. I've checked my hoses but can't hear anything leaking.

Anyone have any ideas where this leak could be coming from? I mean a common place that happens to these particular models. Also what other thing could possibly show up as a Vacuum leak, ERG valve, Manifold leak, etc??

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

There is a video on youtube where a guy uses a cig and a rubber hose hooked to your engine and he blows the smoke into the hose and after a min or so it shows the vacuum leak from the smoke coming out.
