How can you find where there is a leak in a vacuum cleaner hose?

I’m trying to fix my Eureka vacuum cleaner (model number 4495a-1). It is a bagless vacuum and nothing that I vucuum up makes it to the cannister. All of the debris sits in the part of the hose that runs from the brush area through the base of the vacuum. Hope this makes sense. Anyone know what might be wrong?? Could it be a leak in the hose?
