Default Vacuum leak?

It sounds like my '99 Cherokee (119,000)has a vacuum leak toward the rear of the engine. It's a rapid raspy sound, I put my 2 foot long screwdriver to my ear all around and I don't think it's a lifter,injector or rod bearing, but it comes and goes, usually when warmed up.

best way to find them is with a can of carb cleaner spray it all around the area when motor starts missing or running rough there is where the leak is
