HAVING A COMPRESSION LEAK WITH LEAK OBVIOUS FROM THE SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. CAN'T FIND THE FAULTY HOSE OR THE SOURCE. SHUTTING OFF IF NOT ON THE EXCELLERATOR, LOSS OF GAS MILEAGE. HOW MANY DIFFERENT COMPRESSION HOSES AND WHERE ARE THEY? ANY OTHER THINGS TO CHECK TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM.

Your best bet is to try and use a piece of gas line in your ear as a scope and when you find the leak you will hear the hissing noise clearly. If this doesnt work take it in and have a smoke test done on it, very simple test.
