The vacuum pump on the front of the engine makes the vacuum. THe main vacuum line goes from the pump to the master cylinder brake booster.The small lines off the main line have jets in them, they are in series with eachother with each one having a smaller jet, so the vacuum goes down the further you are from the main line.
The vcv has a variable jet. The transmission hooks up between the last fixed jet and the vcv.

A leak down could be from several sources Those plastic connectors in various colors are the jets.

Other posters are more experienced.
