Vacuum Leak
So I was driving home and all is well in my E55 and all of a sudden I went into limp mode and got miss fires all from the right side bank . I developed a vacuum leak for sure . I can spray up under the supercharger and it smoothes right out . But my problem is , I can't find it anywhere . Any help ??

Right side bank , about 3/4 of the way back . Can't really pin point it from there . I took off the supercharger last night and replaced all of the gaskets . Wow !! That thing is friggin heavy !! . What a pain in the but that was . I got tired and shut down repairs for the night , so tonight I will be finishing it up . Do you know by chance the torque specks for the intake plenums ? I can't find that anywhere . I live in Alexandria VA . And you ??

Yea I got that back in place . That is in the Left Side , Unless you are referring to another one that I don't know about . I resealed the supercharger the other night after work . Holy $%#^ that thing is heavy . I would say about 75 lbs . Not easy to lift off when your fully extended and leaning over the car . Seems to be much better now . No check engine light as of now . Im driving it this weekend . That will be the real test . If there is anything else that you can think of please let me know . Thanks for the response . Are you in VA too ?

I will let you know how it goes . Im looking at another E55 on Saturday . Maybe I will sell the one That has been giving me problems . And just start over fresh . LOL .
Thanks again . Let me know if you hear of or know any weird issues that you wouldn't normally find on vacuum leaks . Do you know what the little black valve is on the snout . It has a center piece that looks like it releases pressure in the SC when you turn the car off . When its running that piece is sucked closed of course . ???
