Leak is in the vacuum hose coming from DV.
I went to Pep Boys and picked up 3.5ft of 5/32" rubber vacuum hose and some small clamps.
I can get the end off from the DV fine, but how about where it's connected to. Any tricks to getting into there--and screwing in a clamp in that tiny space?

the other end is right on top of the engine. Maybe I'm missing something from your question, but it should be in plain sight.

the easiest way to get access to it is to remove the collant resevior. Remove the 3 philips screws securing the coolant res, then unplug the connector on the bottom of the res. Then just move the res out of the way as best you can with the coolant line still connected to it. It is a tight squeeze under there. Basically there is a 3 way valve you are woking on. One connection is the hose we are talking about. The one to the bpv. The other one is a short hose to the intake manifold. It's that hose that comes off the front of the intake manifold on the engine side. Then the 3rd line goes to the vacuum cannister. I hope this helps.
