If you can come by one of these hand operated vacuum hand pumps (pic) in the UK they come in handy to check the vacuum system for leaks. Shown hooked up the vacuum source at the intake manifold.

Vacuum Reservoir location. To see it without removing the bumper end cap, crawl under the end cap and pull the right hand inner fender liner down and look up inside.
