If that was a vacuum leak your engine wouldn't idle at all, it would stall. Even if you pull the dipstick out it would idle rough, anymore than that and it would stall. It's your valve cover relief valve venting, and what's with all the water all over your engine including your coils, MAP sensor and every clevis visible in your video?

That water didn't get there without help, the hose can be clearly seen in your video after almost stepping on it. You really did hose off your engine in an attempt to clean it!

Bet you pour water to see where the leak was or used something on it to test for a leak?

I could have told him what it was without resorting to hosing off the engine, you're asking for trouble when you do something like that. He is lucky he didn't fry his alternator taking his ECU along with it!

At least you got away with it and didn't cause any damage, if I were you I would try to clean up all the formation of hard water deposits from everywhere in your engine bay because I saw rusty colors in your video below the valve cover near the intake manifold.
