I also have a chronic problem with P0442 "Evap Emission Control System Leak (Small)". Since it's not possible to diagnose or repair these demonic problems without special equipment I'm forced to live with it or pay hundreds for an advanced shop to do a smoke test on the emission system. I figure I'll either build or buy a smoke machine at some point, since this evaporative system leak stuff is a recurrent problem.
I did replace the gas cap, and that held off the code for a few days. It's worth noting that the 8/80 emission system manufacturer warranty comes exactly when all the rubber hoses, pipes, tubes and bits in the car begin cracking and swelling, and many electro-mechanical solenoids and sensors approach the end of their reliable life.
