First tech - vacuum leak?
So, like I said in the other posts - oil change and spark plugs to come. Done and done. I went with dino-oil with plans to do the autoRX thing and switch to syn but it looks like I am losing some oil below so that will have to wait until I investigate. I certainly don't want to make things any worse.
I used AutoLite Platinum plugs.. opinions welcome.
The reason I replaced the plugs is because things felt a big sluggish. I know how everyone talks about how slow the 3.0 is but mine is less perky than it should be I think. Things are definitely a bit smoother with the new plugs/fresh oil, but I am suspecting that maybe there is a vacuum leak causing some hesitation upon acceleration. I hadn't messed around under the hood much until last night. I don't think I have ever seen such a mess of vacuum hoses.
The QUESTION I guess is where to start looking for the air leak and other potential power losses. Thanks for reading!

I have to replace my blower motor resistor also. I have speeds 1,2 & 4 but no 3.
