Unhappy Vacuum problem??

Hello guys, this is my first post on the 318ti forum and please forgive me for my english, because i am a german potato...

So 6 months ago, I bought an automatic 1997 318ti e36 with an M44 with 250tkm or 155 thousand miles. Everything worked great, no problems, changed some gaskets and the car was running smooth. I went to school and on the drive home I noticed a loud hissing noise arround the engine bay. I've lost nearly all the power and the car had big problems while running. When I gave is gas slow and steady its okay til like 2500rpm but if its on idle and i press the gas fast, it has like hick ups and stalls.

I am not a guy that knows much about cars but I got my compact to learn from it. And after watching a lot of videos, I often read 'vacuum leak' so I thought maybe this will be it. I don't know how to test and locate a vacuum leak, I also don't know for sure if this is the problem.

Maybe someone had similar problems and can help me solving it. I appreciate it!!
