Okay, I found the issue. When the EGR failed it ran the hot gas back into the plastic intake manifold and caused it to melt a hole on the inside where the pipe connects. It was nearly impossible to see without taking the manifold off.

I am having the same issue. How did you identify the issue and how was it causing vacuum?
