fire her up and if engine's rpm starts going crazy then the leak is in that area,

I'll try tomorrow since it seems like a somewhat fast check.
Yeah, it's pretty quick.

Play with the throttle like you have until it's idling without help. While it's idling spray brake cleaner near the areas you mentioned. The rpms will rise if the fumes are getting in and fall after any residual brake clean evaporates.
