There could be several leaks, in many places. I would have a smoke check done. Way easier to find leaks.

yea smoke test is the way to go, also find out if its a gross evap leake or a small evap leak, gros evap leake could be somthing very noticable like a crack in the charcole canister(been there done that)
also have a good look at the seal on your gas cap, remove it and flip the seal, could be somthing simple as that
