That's a new problem, though, the climate was bad before that particular leak was created.
As for the climate switches:
1. At the top. Colored dot was brownish, line was solid red. It was right, however, according to where it was plugged in. It held 1.5 inches at best, but I heard its pod operating up under there somewhere (that's the only one i heard.) I think it's okay. Should I replace it "just to be sure"?
2. Green with blue tracer. zero.
3. Red with yellow tracer. Held 5 inches.
4. Red with black tracer. zero.
5. Red with white tracer. zero.
6. Solid green. Held 7 inches.
7. Red with blue tracer. zero.
In other words, everything except 3, 6, and maybe 1 is positively bad.

Well, unfortunately, you've got a lot of work ahead of you............
The worst part is #4........the center vents. This pod is nearly impossible to remove unless you've got tiny hands. To access it, remove the climate control unit........it's sitting way back in the space with the hose end facing you. Maybe you'll get lucky and the pod will hold vacuum..........and the problem is the hose. Maybe..........
The remaining problems are fixed by removing the liner for the glove box. Pull the interior light and unplug it first. Once the liner is removed, you'll find two main air door pods directly behind and slightly below the box. You'll need to pull these pods and test them individually. They're probably NG. Be careful.......they look identical, but they are not. Each pod has two vacuum connections.........test both connections on the pod with the Mityvac. They just rotate and can be removed easily.
Numbers 5 and 7 are the defrost pod. It's also behind the glove box liner.........all the way on the left side of the space.........facing downward at an angle. It looks easy to remove, but, the arm is a problem. The pod must be turned and twisted to get the arm in place. The defrost pod also has two connections. You don't need to test it. It's NG.
