May be a dumb question but is the IAC supposed to leak air from here? I just installed this brand new IAC and both the old and new one leak from this round part. I have no other vacuum leaks. Also when plugged in or unplugged there is no change in Idle Speed or RPMs. Possibly the TB? On a 1999 Cobra.

I have the same issue on my 96GT. I can't hear the air leak as well as yours, but when pumping smoke through a vacuum port, I get a ton of smoke coming out of that part of the IAC. Got no answers from anyone on here about the issue, but good luck.

Replace it. It sounds to me like it's defective.
