1 Air Leak Issue - Rubbers Sun Feb 02, 2020 2:43 am

Got an air leak somewhere which I think is rubber related.
Z hose checked
Air filter Box to plenum - recently replaced large connecting rubber hose
Manometer blanking rubbers good
Have tried the Propane / WD 40 / Degreaser spray at the base of the throttle body to engine rubbers - no change
Fuel Injector o-rings and filters recently replaced.
Fuel hoses replaced (internal and external)
I'm thinking (speculating) it's rubber related (and sucking air) because once the engine has run for 20 mins, the idle speed is different (usually faster and is sitting at the 950rpm). I remember way back when I first got my car license, that squealing fan belts will heat up and expand when hot and squeal may well go away.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
