It would be on the fire wall in the engine compartment on the passanger side as far as I know.
But there is a tsb on that for a seal that needs to be replaced.

Its the seal on the evap box inside the car in most situations. You need the new updated seal installed. I don't remember exactly, but I thought it was about 1.5 hours under warranty, so its not a really simple job considering.

That sucks, so I probably can't just get the seal and do it myself?

dremel a hole wider in the firewall where it is supposed to leak. (behind the aluminum foil shroud on passenger side near 1/4 the way down).

Or if you dont want to take a power tool to it just use a shot VAC and vacuum the hole out. or use compressed air .

Its basicly a clogged hole. I know a number of members who had the damn thing replaced a number of times and had issues with it.
