    I just took mine off under the dash, two hoses meet each other, one small meets one larger hose, it was very tight so i doubt it's there, back of the gauge is hidden, that's all i know, hope you find the problem

    mine came apart at the very front of the engine bay, there is a join right above where the air intake comes through and goes to the airbox, hard to describe, but there was a vac join under there, have a look at that.
