This is part of the vacuum controls for the secondaries.  Chances are if you
have a leak, your secondaries aren't functioning properly, if at all.

An easy way to check is to look at where the rods for the secondaries (there
are two of these dead-center on the front and rear of the intake) are with
the car off  When you turn it on, they should move.  If not, that vacuum
leak is prevening them from closing, and causing you to lose a lot of your
power below 4K.

A pretty easy fix.

Good luck!
