Default Check engine light- 16826 (P0442)

16826 (P0442) Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small Leak)
INTERMITTENT

OK, so here is what happened...I replaced my Evap Purge Valve yesterday...and cleared my code...then on a little drive...the check engine came on again with this code above...

Should I go check the gas cap...clean it with a rag...and then re-clear the codes?

Thanks for the help guys!

Gas cap and check the evap line near the exhaust.

Default I will check it, thanks for the info....

So the Evap line is close to the Exhaust-which I do have aftermarket...could it be burned?

Thanks for the info!
