cheapest fix is a new gas cap.
i had a medium evap leak and this fixed it.
don't forget to reset ur computer.

u should also look over the whole evap system for any cracks in hoses.

If not the cap look at the fill tube, top part (screws to the box side) is prone to rot out, that's what mine was.$220 dealer only part, 5min DIY fix.
