Vacuum Leak Check

Vacuum Leak Check
So I have a CEL and it's saying bank 1 and 2 are too lean. The consensus seems to be check for a vacuum leaks first rather than replace O2 sensors. I have used electrical cleaner on the MAF and the spark plugs are maybe 32k old. My questions are these:
- How do I go about checking for leaks? It seems to be popular to use brake cleaner and shoot it at surfaces that may be leaking. So if a leak is present the cleaner will get sucked into the crevice?
- Where are all the areas I need to check? I know I need to check hoses and whatnot, but where on the engine should be checked?
- How would I go about fixing the leak? Inspection was due in December and now I'm back from snowboarding so this problem has to be fixed.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks guys!
