My engine light came on. I hooked up the diagnostic handheld reader. It read "evaporative emission system leak detected. (very small leak) ". What i need to know is, what do i need to replace or repair,(if possible) in order to turn that "check engine" light off. Thank you.

Check your gas cap. As new as your car is, I don't think the rubber seal has gone bad. You may have left it not completely tight the last time you put gas. Your reader should be able to erase the code.
