Main Vents

I spoke to a heating specialist about locating another main vent. I know the location of only one.
I have one pipe gas steam.
He told me to look for pipes that are below the waterline and try to follow them. He also stated that at some point they are probably below the floor.
There is a main vent in the electical closet with a 3/8" hole and a vent with a small hole connected to it. He stated that I should buy a coupling that is 3/4" on one side and install a 3/4" size vent.
Is he correct? Any advice is appreciated.

It depends
what are the lengths and diameters of your steam mains?
