this is true

have you tried spraying carb cleaner in small sections to see if the idle jumps? if it does, that's where your leak is

That works, but water would be safer. Only difference is idle would drop when the watter plugs the leak.

WTF ? Why would you put water near your intake manifold where there is a leak? Are you retarded? Do you know what happens if water somehow finds its way into the combustion chamber?

Use brake cleaner or carb/choke cleaner and you should be able to find it quick. Just dont use water, thats just plain stupid.

Stupid is blowing your face off in a flash fire.

A small vacuum leak shouldn't ingest a huge amount of water, and the little bit that may get sucked in is way to insignificant to cause any damage. It's not like you're pouring it into a gaping hole. If there is a gaping hole, it should be obvious and not further troubleshooting would be required.

Even if it was a small leak why risk it?

i'm more for the carb cleaner, it would evaporate quicker than water ever would.
