Default cold where you are? usually happens in the cold. wouldn't hurt to check the hoses around

the gas tank and the fill line and maybe even get a new gas cap, though leaky gas caps usually cause large leaks, not small ones

gas cap tight? Most likely a bad N80 ( purge valve ) if it is.

Default even if it clicks like three times, I'm sure the gasket can wear out over time.

at that point a new cap is your only resolution

Fixed it this weekend.. When i was taking out my exhaust the clamp hit one of the hoses next to the spare time and it put a whole in it... I fixed it with some JB weld
