Default P0442 code w/ new cap

My 07 keeps throwing the P0442 code. I got a new cap from GM a month or so ago and it has thrown the code 2 more times. What is the next step to trace down this problem. I still do get a slight gas smell here and there. Thanks in advance

No answer. We have tried to put an o-ring under the gas cap to try to get it to seal better didnt help at all. Most likely going to take it to GM and get it worked out.
