Evap Leak

2003 r53 93,000 miles throwing a P0455 evap leak code. Light comes on intermittently, gas cap has already been replaced. Wondering If I should throw down 130 ish on a new LDP and hope it solves the problem or take it in for a leak test....

Could try removing the wheel shroud and then checking the rubber hose connections from the tank to the gas cap.
