Default Evap Leak?

my stock 2000 cherokee threw a code for a evaporation leak.. Its not major, and doesn't affect driving ability... What are some common place to look first to get this go away...i've cleared the code once, it came back after 2 weeks of driving.

One of the most common reasons is a bad gas cap.

Was it the code for a big or small leak?

im not 100% sure but I think it was small.. I cleared it before reading the whole code.. didn't think much of it, just threw the code rear on, saw evap leak and erased it.

Always best to post the exact code. With OBD, the devil is definitely in the details....

If it comes back, post the code and we can give you more specific guidance. Google the code + Jeep Cherokee for more information on codes.
