It's something in the vacuum reservoir line or the grommet on the vacuum reservoir, or maybe the tank itself. I've isolated it to that point with my MityVac, and blocked it so that I only lose the auto lock function when the car isn't running, everything else is working properly (shutoff, shifting, brakes and the rest of the system holds a vacuum), but it could be somewhere in the line. I'm just hoping that it's not, so I'm starting with the easier parts first. But I can't find a grommet.
