Alloytec vacuum leak (cant locate)

[Jemz11]

There is a vacuum leak or gushing of air sound coming from the right side of the engine just behind the power steering fluid reservoir and somewhere around the oil filter housing. Ive Checked over all the hoses and haven't been able to find anything.

I was thinking it could be the manifold gasket as ive had to remove it multiple times.
sounds further down tho.. not sure

Going to bet it’s the power steering pump it’s self making that noise.
There’s no engine vacuum components or functions down there.

Could be right on the money, might well be the steering pump. Thanks for the heads up

If you can get a long screwdriver onto it safely (Away from spinning things), put your ear to it (mind any long hair and loose clothing), you can bet the sound is confirmed.
Best approach from the side away from the drive belt.

Yeah alright. I'll give it a try later.
