You can use WD-40 for this, but the starting fluid is considerably less messy. I would guess that the older mechanic guys that showed me this used WD-40 because it would take longer to evaporate and helped to narrow down the problem area.

Mike, It probably wasn't WD-40 that they used. What people use is starting fluid (mostly ether in a spray can). It evaporates almost immediately and gets sucked into the vacuum leak where it then burns in the engine as fuel. When it burns, it engine runs faster (like it got more fuel) and tells you that you just found the leak.
