I appear to have lost my Evap system,no hiss from the tank when I release the cap,but when you turn the engine off can hear a air leak from the rear rhs of the engine(drivers side)anyone any ideas,took the right hand plenum off,everything seems ok,only thing is the EGR valve connection to the exhaust manifold seems a bit loose,but this is after the valve so that should be ok shouldn't it,
The plastic t-piece is fine and all the connections seem ok.

Hi Wafoo,
have you noticed a canister about the size of a tin of coke resting just behind (and maybe a little below) the OS headlight. It has a number of tubes coming in/out (follow them as far as you can). They've been known to work loose and cause an air leak.
Easy to check and fix if its the cause.
