Default Throwing code P0442

Hey all, I started throwing code P0442 EVAP system small leak the other day. My question is what are some typical things that may cause this code to pop. Where does the EVAP system begin and end? I've done little things like tightening my gascap and looking to see if anything seemed out of place, but as far as I can tell all looks normal. Any and all help is appreciated. Im supposed to be getting tuned on Tuesday, hope I can clear this up by then.

the gas cap would be the first thing to check, make sure the seal is good. check any of the hoses for cracks or not be a tight. those can be a pain to chase down.
