Yup, that was it. When I took the intake off, I didn't notice that the hose came from there (never dawned on me either). Then when I put it back together, it managed to sit under the intake to where I couldn't see it. Problem fixed now!! Next up, why do I have brake fluid leaking and why don't I have heat/ac.

Honestly, it's leaked once and that was it and I've had it for a couple of months. So I haven't really looked.

As for the heater, it blows out of the defrost but not the vents. I'm waiting out the rain to check for vacuum leaks first.
