Finally took to the dealer - evap line loose on top of left gas tank and small leak at evap vent solenoid. Replace solenoid (# 13575703). Was also told that the filler line was loose at the tank. Since no other parts were installed, just tightened the fitting (??). For having to drop the tank, not a bad repair bill at $700.

Also, GM vehicles require quite specific driving conditions to run the monitor on the EVAP system, which is why a code isn't always present. I've seen it take 2 months+ to get the conditions right to run the evap monitor.
