So I've been trying to figure out why my car won't idle correctly. Tonight I think I finally heard a vacuum leak. Odd part about it, is that I heard it the best in the passenger front of the engine compartment, right above the power steering pump. Only thing that I could see that might create a sound like that are the A/C lines. Is there any sort of vacuum line in that area that might be causing my sound? Thanks!

The vacuum reservoir is over there. Follow the line that goes along the firewall.

The only thing I can find is the a/c filter/drier that is underneath the battery tray. I looked all over the pass. side and I can't seem to find any sort of vacuum reservoir. I also managed to misplace my Ford service manual, that would have pictures. Any more help you could give in locating the reservoir would be great!
