Big Problems

First of all the truck wont stay running we think its a vaccume leak but dont know from where. second everytime we tighten the rockers down they come loose again. any idea whats going on with either help please should we just tighten the bolts on the rockers till they are very tight or is there something missing from them that keeps them tight. and how do you know if the water pump is leaking. any help would be appreciated thanks
