This good diagnosis makes the next step clear ~ slide back the right front seat and remove the carpeting , un lock and lift up the black plastic cover so you can see the yellow plastic pipes and look for the black rubber "Y" connector holding the yellow with red stripe pipes all in a bunch , apply vacuum to each pipe in turn until you discern with door's vacuum chamber is leaking then take that door apart and replace the chamber remembering to _TEST_ the central locking & UNlocking -BEFORE- you close it all up and discover that _one_ door was connected reverse so it unlocks when you want it to lock and vice-versa .
Pretty simple , expect to need to replace the other 4 vacuum chambers within the year , might be prudent to buy and replace them all right now whilst they're still available & affordable .
