Servo vac pipe may be fitted but somtimes they are loose if they have been pulled out

fit a cable tie to it TIGHT! as a quick fix, see if that works! If it does then replace it with a small jubilee!

Second thing to check would be at the servo end

anyone in northeast area willing to look at in 4 me??
