Of course you can look for cracks, disconnected, or broken lines. Another good way it to use starter fluid. Start the engine and spray a slight amount of starter fluid on the vacuum hose connections. If there is a leak the engine will increase in revolutions. You can also use WD40 for this test, with similar results. If your car is over 10 years old, I suggest you replace all under-hood vacuum lines. Replace them one at a time as to not get confused. A very cheap repair.
