One trick is to use an unlit plumbers propane torch. open the valve slightly and point it at the joints in the intake pipes. If the idle increases slightly the leak is there.
If you tale the plastic tubes off and look at them you might see a buildup of dust near leaks. Take a good look at the filter and the rubber seal around it. make sure there are no holes in the filter and that the rupper seal has no dirty spots where it didn't seat properly in the housing.
