One thing a smoke test wont tell you always is if the reservoir is cracked. They can crack on the underside which only shows up when there is vacuum.

How are you going to hold vacuum with a handheld mini vacuum pump on the intake system?
Your going to pull air past the throttle plate (butterfly).
So you would have to seal the throttle body.
