Default Help: Vacuum leak? - 2002 S281 SC

Looking for possible tips on what this might be. Engine starts and runs fine, but has developed a high pitch hiss at idle. The noise pretty much goes away when you crack the throttle. When you shut off engine the hiss continues until the pictures valve closes. Thanks.

I've come to the conclusion that it is probably the SC base gasket. I took the car by a local custom Cobra builder here locally and after shooting some starter fluid around the base it became apparent I have a leak along the right side of the base. I've read on here about the crappy gaskets; is it recommended to use a permatex product instead?

There is a guy on long island selling the gaskets along with a plate to help seal around the intercooler, not sure if it will work on your 02, I picked up a set last year for my 99, going to be installing it in a couple of weeks. I think they were on fleabay a while ago...
