I've got a vacuum leak. How much should it cost to replace all the hoses?

    The big vacuum cannister that looks fit for soup? I used some 4MM vacuum hose. That translates to 3/16" roughly. Again though, it's really best to just buy lengths in every size available. You'll need some in virtually every size sold at the parts store.

          If someone can find that, it'd be extremely helpful. I don't know where they all are or what sizes I'll need. I don't need to run any to the dash, right? That would be painful.

          So it's not a big deal if I know what I'm doing. That's a relief.

          Now I...just need to know what I'm doing.

          Putting it here because I keep forgetting to mention it. It's not very exciting at the moment.

            I've recently discovered that my vacuum reservoir somehow magically has a new hose. This probably happened when I took it into the shop to get the defrost working, but they never told me they did it.

            So the leak lies elsewhere, and it's bigger than I thought it was.

            I don't know how soon I'll tackle this, since I'm focusing on building my PC right now, but I'll probably buy the tools to do it with along with the hoses.
