Default Check engine light

Well my check engine light came on the other day, so I took it to advance to get it read and it showed I had a vacuum leak somewhere in the fuel system. I just recently had my fuel filter changed (last Saturday). Could that be a what caused it and what else should I look for to find the leak?

What were the codes you received. I am guessing you had lean codes? Both banks? May need to watch short and long fuel trims to find your cause. Fuel filter is a good thing if it hasn't been done for some time. Pcv valve? Hoses from pcv to intake? Dirty MAF?
