If this happens you should replace all of the vacuum lines. This does not seem to that rare of an issue. I just replaced all of the vacuum lines in the engine compartment, vacuum switch & seal because of this problem. Hopefully I won't have to replace the vacuum line inside the dash.

I myself will also be double checking the fluid level on the stick just to make sure, but how do you know it was the vacuum switch. I check the transfer case and nothing came out. Can you smell it? Does some of the HVAC not work?
