Vacumm leak fix

Has anyone fixed a vacumm leak between the egr tube and upper intake? On a 96 Explore 4.0L. Does this have an O ring Or what? Thanks

How do you know its leaking does it make any noise?I have a 96 Exp XLT 4.0 that makes a whistling sound when you give it gas or get under load. Ive tried everything checked the IAC , went over it with carb cleaner a found nothing, I'm going to replace the O-rings on the upper intake tomorrow and hope that does it. If not maybe the EGR tube ,but it does not sound like its coming from there.

Spray Carb Cleaner where the EGR tube goes into the intake, if you have a vacumm leak there the motor will speed up
