Something that makes finding vacuum leaks easier is simply using a slight pressure on the vacuum line (only 1 psi or so via a pressure regulator) and then using a soap bubble/water solution, you can spray every connection or point that is suspected and then see where you find bubbles. Bubbles indicates a leak. If you see the water get moved away, then you obviously have a fairly significant leak. But, based on what you are describing, you have something that isn't too bad else you would be tossing the CEL for a vacuum leak.
