I am thinking that I have a vacuum leak when I press the brakes. Where would it leak from? Where can I check?
The engine idles rough when I have the brakes pressed on.

I believe you have a defective brake booster.
If you notice change on engine RPM when you hit the brake, then no doubt you have a bad brake booster.

Open your trunk, remove your carpet.
Remove the access panel for your brake fluid reservoir. At the back of the reservoir, you will see a biiig round thing that the brake master cylinder bolts to... That be your brake booster. Looks like a big black puck.
