HELP! Where is this air leak coming from? *Pics*
My car has randomly been going into limp mode lately and from what I've read here its a leak or the dv's. I have bailey dv's so I don't think its them. I pressurized the system at 15psi and it sounds like I've got a leak way in the back drivers side (back=towards front of the car). I reached my hand back as far as I could but couldn't feel anything. What might leak back there, I don't see a bunch of vacuum lines??
*edit*
See below, it was the 1/4" hose to the back DV.

well i guess I just had to step back a minute, while it sounds further back I contorted my hand in around the dv's and its definitely leaking in that area. I don't think its the DV's themselves, maybe the f-hose. I' going to take apart what I can and tighten stuff up.
The Bailey DV's are a few years old, I've heard DV's need to be serviced every now and then, what does that involve for those?

The 1/4" hose going to the top of the rear DV was split at the T connection. It literally just kinda fell off as I tried to move the hose a little. The DV's I have are baileys and dont have the 90* turn on the top, so getting to that 2nd one would be quite the hassle to replace the hose. Soooo, there was plenty of play so I cut off the split section and just tied it back in. Did another leak test and no sound
Cut the split section off and reconnected:
