air leak sound coming from engine
Okay well yesterday I started noticing a weird sound coming from my motor, its like someone blowing into a straw kind of sound. I even took my coil packs off just to investigate a little and I turned the engine over with a breakover bar from the crank, and when i turn it, you can hear that sound when it turns over. I can seem to hear it a little better with the coils out. Does anyone have a clue what this could be?

Mine always sounds like it's drawing air someplace, gets louder with the airbox lid off.

Only reason i ask is because i just put in a X-brace and from too much force of trying to get the brace to fit i kind of broke off a little nipple from a little box where a vacuum line goes into and now there is a little suction noise and it kicked a check engine light as well....

well I know its not the intake, but if I put my ear right up to the spark plug holes i can hear the air, it sounds like its just like blowing out somewhere, I also did a compression check today..the numbers were:
#1 #2 #3 #4
180 180 150 120
I'm thinking it is something serious like that b/c the CEL came on and started blinking, I immediately turned the car off..and when I came out to put a scan tool on it real quick the light was off again and hasnt turned back on.
Could this be bent valves?
