Good point. It should also be remembered that, on the diesels, the vacuum does NOT come from the intake manifold, but from a special, vacuum pump mounted at the front of the engine, driven off the auxillary shaft. These pumps CAN go bad....

That's a good procedure for tracing vacuum leaks, but not all vacuum reservoirs are in the trunk. On at least one of m y '80's 300s, the reservoir is under the left front fender.
