Help! Hissing noise from Vacuum valve on driver side shock tower

Hey guys, this valve hisses while the car is running. I have replaced the valve (part#50913-S87-A81), and it seems to have gotten worse. One side of the valve vacuum line appears to run down to the front motor mount.

I have also recently replaced the 3 engine mounts with OE parts and the purge valve on the firewall (also still occasionally ticks).

This thing is driving me crazy.

The car is a 2003 CL-S with 80k miles.

Thanks in advance

I plan to make an appointment with the dealer this weekend to have it checked out. I think it's a vacuum issue.

Thats part of the "active" mount system. I removed it entirely as it server absolutely no purpose.

You got it!! you answered your own question. I did the same thing the other days while doing some moderate tune up on my car. I reversed my vacuum lines.

FYI, putting in an intake will not solve your noise problem.
