Vacuum pipe location ?

Does anyone know if there is a page on the site showing the location of vacuum pipes.
After fiddling around at the side of the air blower box I came across a vacuum pipe that is not connected to anything and is sucking air like nobody's business.
The only one I know of in that immediate area is whats connected to the air circulation valve and that is indeed connected.

At least on the 24V the vacuum pipes are located under the inlet manifold. There are diagrams on the Search/Map page, but only for 24V as I can see. Figuring out it based on how a lose pipe looks like is a pain with the diagrams, better to just see the whole system in situ and find the broken T-piece.

Click on the third picture down here:

Is this the area? These are the pipes for the recirculated air.
The second picture gives you a better idea of the location of the parts although not so clear of the pipes.
This is a LH drive car, RH will have the wiper motor alongside.

Spot on Tompion, the bottom pipe is the one that's not connected, looks like a wiper assembly out job for me to get my mitts in there.

Unless you have hands like shovels, you should get in there,tricky I know but can be done without removing wyper assembly..  I did my heater motor last year and remember it was a tight squeeze.
