Unhappy 2001 Civic 4 door

CEL on. Code reader shows P1457 - Evap control system leak. Checked all hoses I can see, nothing obvious. Not sure where to start. Any suggestions? Car runs fine but wife is nagging about the darn light!

Check for a bad seal on the gas cap.

Thanks RonJ, but first thing I did was replace gas cap with genuine ($57!) Honda part.
