Default vaacum leak

I have a dodge ram convertion 1996. My problem is that while driving fresh air started entering to the floor. On stopping i found all heat/ac working and vaacum working correct apart from the OFF BUTTON so while driving with off button pushed in forced air is still entering the floor vent. as the problem is quite specific was hoping i could get some help...Thanks

While driving and accelerating (or hill climbing), put your hand over the defrost vent and see if it's also blowing out of there.

Stupid you might be , but I gotta say that you've also got a big set of cojones. Not many people would've come back and and actually admitted to what you just did.
