So is there something on it that could suck in the vapours from the brake clean?

I doubt it.

More likely a loose clamp on the intake piping, or fumes got sucked into the hockey-puck if the collar is loose.

Try a shot of brake clean at the hockey puck and see what happens.  Just make em short shots.  Maybe the gasket on the VC has a crack on it.    Hoses loose in other places? 

Kind of reminds me of finding a vac leak on a gasser with carb cleaner.

I would suggest switching to carb cleaner. Brake parts cleaner has additives in it that become toxic when burned. One shot contains more than enough to put you out of commission if inhaled.

I know the tailpipe is a long way from where you are working, but why take the risk?

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner will not make phosgene when burned. That said, it is not very healthy or fun to get a snootful.

No worries. Abundance of caution is much better than the opposite.

I have accidentally inhaled a blast of vapor when spraying non-C cleaner on a hot engine - ugh.


A long while back, I was shown how guys that smoked while working on R12 AC systems were at significant risk. (That was when you could smoke in a dealership shop.)
