Thanks again.

So far I have replaced:

All rubber vaccum hoses (except funky hose to oil breather & back of idle control valve)
All cloth covered rubber vaccum hoses going to charcoal cannister
Main Intake boot
Hard Plastic vacuum lines & rubber ends
Brake booster hose and check valve
Fuel injector seals

Next on my list:
Funky hose going to the oil seperator
Hoses going to the idle control valve
seals on oil seperator
bottom of dipstick tube (it's leaking a tiny bit)
Seal on oil cap

The car runs fine but it did have a hunting idle which is 99% cured but still hunts a little when the car is cold. I've only got 27k miles but the car is still 19 years old and in my past cars, correcting vaccum leaks seamed to improve engine running more than anything else - especially in my 914 and old bmw 320i - plus I feel better knowing nothing is going to break and leave me stranded.

I didn't know anything about the vacuum nipple on the bottom of the intake but I'm glad to hear in advance what to look for.

Thanks again..................Vern
