My CEL has been on a bout 2 weeks..Well i got it checked it was a P044...something code a vacuum line leak?? Is there a homeway to find this out, instead of paying someone to use the smoke machine??, would you buy a new line or just duct tape it??

 

DO a search on vaccum leaks for your engine,Find the leak,Replace the line,reset the codes.

 

There should be a sticker either on the underside of the hood or on the rail in front of the radiator with a vac hose diagram . Just follow all the hoses from the engine and look them over carefully.
The most probable place to look is the hoses from the charcoal canister to the engine.
As the engine pulls vapors from the fuel tank , the gas vapors tend to deteriorate these hoses faster than others.

 

oh ok, If i cant see a hole is there a way that I can check to see where it is

 

It most likely won't be a 'hole'.
Check where the hoses connect for cracks / splits. And also near the exaust manifolds where one might be melted through.
