My check engine light has been on for a month. Changed the gas cap but no luck so far. Code says small vacuum leak. Any idea what I should do?

From what I've read in other posts here, it takes a few hours of driving to restore the vacuum. How much engine time since you changed the gas cap?

Do your codes come up as a EVAP System Leak? I had one of those on my 96. Boy was it a pain to track down. Some shops can do a smoke test where they run smoke through the system and where the smoke escapes that's where your leak is.
