No Mario, we're all hiding from you.
IIRC you had an issue with the rubber grommet where the elbow goes into the brake booster. Or it may have been the elbow itself. I remember trying to get one out for you and finally concluded that I was going to break it before getting it out. You can obviously disconnect and plug the vacuum line at the manifold and see if that cures the problem. If it does you can reconnect the each section of the vacuum line and plug the end to try to figure out where it is leaking. If you are using the original vacuum hose as I suspect you are, I'd go ahead and purchase a new one anyway. Holler at me if you want my number is the same or I can call you if you would like. Good luck!
HTH,
