It's in lots of PSA cars like the XM, 306, etc. Take a look at a local scrappy and you'll save some €€€€'s.

Hi,
I had the same problem when I first got mine. After a lot of head scratching it turned out to be a small split in one of the AVAC pipes that was very hard to see / find. Would sugest checking them from start to end, if they look old and worn replace them anyway, you can buy a length of the pipe for a few quid. Hope this helps.
Cheers
