Evaporative emission system leak?

Besides the gas cap, Anyone have any ideas where to look for the leak?
Thanks.

racerx82 thanks for the link.

 

* A loose or improperly affixed gas cap
* A non-conforming gas cap (i.e. not factory/original brand)
* A small leak/hole in a fuel vapor hose/tube
* Other small leak in EVAP system
* Faulty vent o-ring seal

Possible Solutions
The most common repair is to:

* Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
* Otherwise, replace the gas cap, or
* Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses

 

racerx82 thanks again.
How do you clear the codes?

 

Does this car have a Charcoal Canister?
If so, wheres it located?

 

with the same device that reads the codes
