I noticed a line split or broke in half and it hissing air, is it vacuum line. It caps onto something and runs inside a round curly line towards the front?

Wrap tape around it to stop the hissing. Find a mechanic to make a more permanent repair.

Disregard mmsmamma. Although do you have a question? How to fix it?

If you can get at both ends of the affected vacuum line, you can take it off and take it to any auto-parts store and they will be able to give you a new one for probably less than 5 dollars.
