my vacuum has been dipping really low?

the vacuum on my boost gauge has been dipping lower then normal i only see it when letting off the gas while its still in gear while i'm braking and the car feels then it has a little bit of a slower spool up, but boost still feels strong?? does this mean i have a vacuum leak somewhere and if so how should i track it down, spray some soapy water over the vac lines??

boost leak test. Check your vacuum lines under the manifold those always pop off

You can go either way from up top or from down below depending of what lines are you looking for. Choose your destiny!

Do a boost leak test and find out, its really hard to e-diagnose cars. Zip tie all of your vac lines also.

just feel around the intake manifold above and under it.

Do a boost leak test and listen for hissing and spray soapy water on suspicious areas.
