My car has a new brake booster and new pads and a new master cylinder and now I still don't have any brakes. I have checked and found that I'm not getting enough pressure from the vacum hose that goes from the booster to the engine to have brakes. I need to know how to find and repair the vaccum leak I can hear it but I cannot see it or feel it.

the best way is to get choke cleaner and spray your hoses and all vacuum connections. If the idle picks up or goes down then you've found your leak.
