P0456 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (very small leak)

Just guessing, but it's probably a loose vacuum line. Before replacing anything, go all over the engine and wiggle any line that you can find to see if you can spot where one has come loose at any of the joints or clamps. Then take the negative battery cable off for 5 minutes to get rid of the code. If it appears again, you might have to have it diagnosed professionally.

Anyone else with a thought? [:I]

i took it to the dealer and they scuffed the fuel cap seal and reconditioned it with grease. cleared the code and it seams to be good now.
