I have the same one on my AT '87 Westy.  Is yours newly installed, or
has this always been a problem since installation?  Mine did this upon
new installation (by me) and had me puzzled for a while.  I added a
later model Golf/ Jetta vacuum reservoir along with all the lines and
vacuum check tee line, trimming everything to length for the Vanagon
engine bay.  I placed the reservoir in the left space in front of the
taillight area, retained by the original bungee strap.  This solved the
issue and I've never had that problem since.  As someone already stated,
it could be a vacuum leak also.
