My check engine light came on and I plugged an OBD-II reader into it and it said P0442 - evap. emissions system leak: very small. Where do these most commonly come from?

Hi.... I have the same problem with my 2003 Neon. I've checked with Midas and they charge about $70 to run the Emissions Diagnostic (and thats not to fix it). I was wondering if you have found any place that can fix this yet?

Change gas cap and reset codes
drive it around usually 2 or 3 days
if light return with the same code
smoke test is needed to locate the leak
