My engine light came on, check with an OBD reader which gave me a code of 0245 (i think that was the #) which said it was an evacuation emission control leak. I called the dealer mechanic who told me that my gas cap needed replaced. I reset the engine light from the OBD reader, put on a new gas cap. Well that worked for about 30 miles and engine light reappeared. OBD reader said same thing. Took to local mechanic with garage OBD reader and he got same reading. He did not see any hoses or anything that looked "broken" under the hood. He reset light and again after about 30 miles light came back on OBD giving same reading. Any suggestions It sounds like I may have a hose leak somewhere but I've checked everywhere that I know and can't find anything. As I am a female and not very mechanically inclined, I was hoping for some guidance. Thank you

You have a problem within the Evaporation Emission Control system-could be the charcoal canister/purge solenoid and vent valves etc.
