Im hearing this loud hissing sound coming from somewhere right by the intake manifold next to the valve cover. It causes my idle to jump, I dont see any vacuum lines here though, where should i look?

I had the same problem. Take a can of Carb. cleaner and start spraying. Your idle should do one of two things, raise or stumble. when I found mine it was the EGR valve and it stumbled, almost stalled actually because it was running so rich. Good luck with that!

well yes, spray on the intake manifold, around it, where it meets the head.. so on and so forth.
