The brake servo is on that side of the car, just in front of the passenger but under the bonnet of course. If that was leaking it could make a hissing noise. There will be a vacuum connection hose between the servo and the inlet manifold and that could leak too. I would get it checked out now while it is under warranty (presumably). Could be something as simple as tightening a connection, replacing the hose, or it could need a new servo at worst.
Get someone who knows cars to listen to it.
