1. There is a piece of rubber that seals those holes and sometimes a buildup can prevent it from sealing properly. Take off the hose and see if there is a tab you can wiggle to move that rubber seal. I manipulated mine a little bit and was able to make it seal properly.

2. If the vacuum break/check valve needs to be replaced there are YouTube videos that will help you do it yourself or a neighbor might be able to help to save you the cost of a plumber.
Thank you
