Evap system leak

Just after i pulled the super charger I started to get an evap leak. It started at first with the gas cap light, went to a small evap leak code. Then it got to a large leak code. I'm curious if it's something i did , or if it is just coincidence. Anyone familiar with the evap system, or should i just fold and take the car into the dealership.

Thanks for any help,
Brian

Start with the Purge Valve located on the engine. On the MC, it's located on the left side almost directly above the tensioner pulley. Two black hard plastic 3/8" tubes -one coming in the bottom, one going out the top. Maybe you cracked on or knocked it loose. Or the wiring harness going into it got knock loose. (but that's a different code, I think)

thanks I'll give that a double check. I'd really hate to take it into the dealership for something i did.
