It depends on where the leak is. If it's just a hose that is pretty easy to fix. If it is the manifold gasket that is a bit harder and can be expensive. Either way you need to get it taken care of soon because your car will not perform at it's best with a vacuum leak and gas mileage will probably be poor as well.
