I blew into the tube and that valve is closed at present. Can the butterfly valve stem have a leak?

Yes to both questions.
Rather than pull a vacuum and then listen to see if any is left, you need to be testing with a unit that allows you to pull a known level of vacuum and watch for any changes:
Sometimes the vacuum leaks that cause these codes are slow but continuous ones.....
