Default Evap problem help

Hi everybody,

Today my 09 Civic had the engine light on and the codes are P1446 and P0455.

I found out that they are:

P1446
Evaporative Vac Solenoid Circuit Malfunction

P0455
Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)

Could anyone tell me can I fix the car by myself or definitely have to bring her to the service. How long can I drive like that?
If i can I fix it - where can I locate this solenoid??

Thanks

Emission problems should be covered under warranty for 5 years or 100,000 miles. That is Federal law.
