A leak of this sort leans out the mixture, whereas a leak through the AAR or AAV does not affect the mixture, as this is air that has already passed though the air flow sensor. Try lifting the pop-off at high idle, you should meet with significant resistance. If it is easy to lift, you have located a problem. Your engine should die right away.
Alternately, you can try some firm pressure on the top of the pop-off valve. Should have no effect on the idle speed.

I wil try that and see what happens.
