Evap Code
Hey guys/ Gals I'm new to this site as i just bought a 2003 Lancer ES about a week ago so I am a proud new owner and let me tell you I love this car! but about 5 days after owing it I got a CEL (check engine light) on my dash took it to a NAPA and they ran a diagnoses and told me it was a Evap code he explained that it could be my gas cap. I made sure that it was on tight so it wasnt that, went and had it tested so nope not that either as it passed. Now I know i need to have a smoke test done but I'm just wondering if anyone knows a common place to look first for leaks that would display that code? any advice would help and thanks so much for your time 
.
All the way!

Right, most of the time it's your gas cap not sealing properly.
Check your gas pump. You simply need to pull on your back seat to remove it and use a phillips screwdriver to unbolt a cap that will let you access it.
It would also be your injector o-rings.
