I think 'evap leak' is a pretty broad code. It could be anything from re-fueling with the engine running to a leaky hose somewhere. From past experience, i'd check the hoses back under/around the fuel tank. Also, the lines on the evap cannister. Depending on your year/model it could have a vacuum controlled purge valve to look at as well. Good luck!

2004 Grand Cherokee. Replaced the gas cap. Think I should get a purge valva, before paying for a smoke test??
