Default P1457 EVAP Leak - Where is Canister

Hi- My 2004 Civic has the CEL light on. I checked the code with an OBD2 scanner and got the P1457 code. I have replaced the gas cap with no luck and now I want to take a look at the vacuum hoses on the Vapor/Charcoal canister. The problem is: I can't find it! If someone could tell me where it is I would be grateful. A pic would be awesome, but a location description would be great also.

thanks

Can't miss it. Under the hood, under the battery area, against the firewall. Black oval-ish canister.

Thanks HOBO but I gave the wrong info in the original post. It is a 2004 Civic NOT a 2000 (I own both but it is the 2004 with the CEL).

thanks

2004 appears to be somewhere near the gas tank.

Yeah, I sort of figured that out although I was not completely sure. Still hoping someone can pinpoint it a bit more...
