When I start the car, there is this vaccuum type noise coming from the engine. Does sound like an engine vaccuum leak, just seriously like a vaccuum. After a while it will shut off on it's own. Then later it will kick on again.

IT's loud enough to hear it. I just wonder why the fans would turn on with the engine being cold and the AC not on?

But it could be the fans, you bring up a good point!
