i need a little more info to help you out. ar you sure its not just your idle that is off? or are you positive that it is a leak? just inspect all of the vacuum hoses, lines and connectors for damage or disconnection. also are you throwing any codes?

go to checker/kragen/shucks or wherever and buy a mechanics stethoscope and use it to listen around the intake gaskets and vacuum hoses...ull be able to hear the leak very well!!

Just spray carb cleaner on the hoses, and if the idle bogs....you got yourself a leak.
