That sounds a bit like a vacuum leak. You can use a garden hose as a stethoscope to try and find the hissing sound, or you can spray WD-40 on all the line connections while the engine is running. If the idle of the engine changes at all when you do this, you've found the leak. Could be something else though. I'm sure there will be more comments. Also, try and get that one plug changed out as quickly as possible.

Seriously, the only easy way I know of doing it would be to remove enough stuff to get to the plug. On my 98 4cyl with the dual plug per cylinder setup, you have to remove the upper intake manifold to get to two of the plugs.
