Gaskets can also be causes of possible vacuum leak, you might wanna check there to see if theres a "suction point". If yuore still convinced its a hose, just check the ones on the intake and all that goes to the mani

WTF? they scanned it and said you have a leak. You cant determine that from a OBD 2 reader

. What you should do is go back and get the exact code #'s from the reader and come back and tell us what they are. That will make it alot easier for us
