Question V70 vacuum leak

Been a while since I posted but here I am again. Just bought a 1998 V70 and took it to a mechanic because the engine light was on. He said that the hose in the canister that brings back the unburned fuel is cracked and I need to replace it. Where would I find it?
He also read these codes when he checked the car, PO455, PO302 and PO300, anybody has any idea what it might be.
He's asking a lot of money to fix it and I would like to try it myself, I did a bunch of work on my 240 so I am not completely new to Volvo

Thank you very much

This thread will give you a good overview of possible problems for the evap leak po455 (at least it's a large leak=easier to find):

If your state does not require emissions testing, I would focus on the misfire codes first to get it running right. The evap codes will drive you crazy and unless the mechanic used a decent smoke machine, I wouldn't fully believe the diagnosis. If you have a shop repair the evap leak, be clear that you are having them eliminate the po455 code. Chances are that it will take more than one attempt to correct it, unless they replace the whole system.

I bought a 1998 Volvo V70 a month ago. I have 3 code that came up and need help figuring out what to do.
here are the codes:
P0172, P0108, P0455.

Would the P0108 cause the other two codes to come up as well?

can anyone give me direction on how to fix these myself?

Thanks,
Mark
