If you suspect a certain area, try short bursts from a can of starting fluid with the engine running. Listen to the engine sounds; it will change speed and can sound just a little different when it sucks a little starting fluid.

If it's a large leak, check the big hose from the base of the throttle body to the power brake diaphragm. Understand too that a 15 year old power brake diaphragm can develop cracks and if that happens, it will leak.

It's difficult to tell you step-by-step instructions on how to find a vacuum leak; troubleshooting is a process that takes a while to master.

Sometimes you can disconnect a vacuum line and cap it to see if it makes any difference. There are quite a few options when tracking down problems, but you need to know which option to use in which situation.
