Default passager side vacuum reservoir locaton

Hi all

Now can anyone help with this one , i was checking over the car yesterday as was having a prob with cold start and bounching revs. found a crack in one of the rubber conection tubes from the Fuel pressure regulator valve which I have fixed, But on checking the vac system noticed that on the passager side the vac pipe that would connect to the blue vacuum reservoir was not connected to anything. I looked and looked but could not find the Vacuum reservoir for that side would anyone have a pic of the location on the car mine is a d2 3.7 QS.

Thanks all for the help

Steve

Same car as mine and I'd love to help.

Don't recall seeing blue vacuum reservoirs. Are these at the front of the engine ?

It would be the weekend before I can get to this.

The liner isn't that difficult to remove
