i have an evap leak

i have looked all over between all xj forums and couldnt find my issue. it started as a small evap leak so i switched the cap and nothing, then for a few months it was a medium leak, and now its a large leak. i have a NY state inspection in a few weeks and need to find.

so is there any weak spots in an 01's evap system that should be checked, and is it normal for it to keep getting bigger?

 

Can you fog the system to check it?

 

i dont like taking stuff to shops and am broke at the moment

 

Check the lines in the rear near the canister. They are a common point of failure. If you dont see anything then def take it in for a smoke test when possible. Itll save you a lot of time in the long run.
