I can't tell ya why, but have you thought of maybe putting some electrical tape around it.

Wow! This has gotta be the longest legitimate bump of all time!

I'd say the vac elbow is just getting a little dry-rotted and isn't holding any longer. Pop a new one on there; you can get them at any FLAPS.

im waiting to see how long it takes for someone to ask what a FLAPS is

They probably made the tolerances too loose during manufacturing, go to a local automotive store and buy some black RTV. Pull the vacuum line off and put some RTV all the way around the back part, then put the hose back on. I wouldn't suggest electric tape like that one guy, but after you put the RTV on (that will seal it so no air leaks), then maybe put a zip tie around the vacuum line to hold it on...

Vacuum leaks can cause all kinds of problems from engine lights, to carbon build up, to a surging idle, blah blah blah. Just fix it and be done with it. Don't start the engine until the RTV has dried though. It should take a whole 5 minutes to fix it doing what I just said!
