Yes, air leaks can and are a huge determination on how well the system works. Air leaks will cause a lean condition. It would be prudent to find and fix all leaks before you worry about pressures.
Do a few searches and you'll find procedures for hunting down leaks. Here's a great thread- second post has some links for trouble shooting.

if I remember correctly my hose on my 77s went to the "turtle" or rubber boot going to the TB. I think I replaced the seal on the oil cap to prevent air leaks.
