Good source of vacuum under the hood?

    Title pretty much says it all, about to do a combustion leak test on my 2012 Prius (iii), and the kit I got didn’t include a pump, it came with a line fitted with a tapered plastic tip meant to be plugged into a vacuum hose… anyone suggest a logical spot I can tap into fairly easily to test my head gasket?

    not gonna lie, not looking forward to this… no startup hammering or anything like that, but I’ve had a small amount of coolant vanish on me recently and she does have 240k+ on her. last EGR cleansing ritual performed like November of 2023, about 20k miles back.

    thx in advance all for any pointers as to where I should grab vacuum from..
