I'm heading to the dealr to have it checked out, but want to have an idea of what it is before I take it there. Any Suggestions? TIA.

Default I think the Evap system does not have to do with exhaust, it is >>

with the gases from the fuel tank. Check the conections at the evap canister. There is a valve (I dont have Bentley here at work) that controls this functionality.

Default I'm not 100% (dont remember)but I think the canister is >>

front, pass side behind the headlamp front of the power steering reservoir. It is a rounded on top black canister with a couple (?) of pipes running in/out. The valve in question is nearby I guess.
