My issue is definitely fixed and you're right I should repeat the test to get any less troublesome leaks taken care of. Honestly tonight I was just glad to have my ride functional again. I figure I should wait to do anything else til I've made it through the work week.
Made a diy smoke test and the billowing smoke from behind the engine was enough to motivate me to get serious about where the back hose goes. Wriggled, twisted, and cussed til I got the hose back on it's little metal offshoot on the back of the engine. Skinny arms can access it from under the...

I have no help, but would you be willing to post pictures of the hoses back by your brake booster? I messed something up in mine and can't figure it out
My (possibly extremely wrong) understanding is the vacuum is created in the intake manifold. Hose lines coming from that "transport" the vacuum to the brakes, climate control, and 4 wheel drive (if properly functioning). So my brakes booster (06 Expedition Limited) has a check valve with three...
