I have a hissing sound in the cabin....that I especially notice when I pull
the car into the garage.....I thought it was coming form the a/c control
area but it may be something else. Other that the heater hose technique are
there other ways to detect or isolate vacuum leaks?

In addition to the idler bearings, you might also want to check the 
condition of the seals for the fuel injectors. On the way to 
Memphis last year an owner had the retaining clip pop up, and the 
seal unseated slightly, resulting in an ear piercing whistle of a 
vacumme leak. I have also noticed a lesser form of this whistle on 
a Maryland owner's car, and even my own 4 weeks ago when the engines 
were cold. Just another thing to check.
