Unknown Vacuum Port

Hi everyone,

I recently removed the intake ductwork to remove the vanos solenoid and upon re-install, I find that I have a vacuum port on the intake manifold that's missing a hose (at least I assume its a hose). It's one of three that are grouped together. For the life of me I can't figure out what goes there!
This shot is from above the intake, in front of the firewall:


When I start the car, of course I have a nasty vacuum leak. Didn't have it when I started! Can anyone clue me in?!!?

Many thanks!

Nevermind! The port is unused. Actually has spider eggs in it! The vacuum leak was coming from the PCV tube that cracked when I pulled its connector off of the valve cover. It broke inside the protective sleeve.
