Thanks for using JA

This could be an actual evap leak which can be due to a faulty fuel filler neck or a hole in one of the evap lines.

a faulty a vent solenoid or a fuel pressure sensor those are the possibilities.

the evap system should be smoke tested to eliminate a leak concern or find one.

what mite i be able to look for to narrow it down without smoke test

the naked eye will not spot a leak without the smoke, the filler neck can look rusted but may not be leaking, and to replace parts on a guessing basis can get expensive, not much you can do other than replacing a gas cap.
