X2 replace both the fuel pressure line and the vapour line.

I read the OP's other 2 posts in another thread he had. Appears that this may be the same issue he had before that has now gotten worse.

Pelliott321. Did you check/fix the fuel and vapor lines several months ago regarding your fault code and failed emission test ?

I'm thinking something to do with the EVAP system
Any suggestions
Thanks in advance

absolutely a FUEL LINE leak.....wont get a puddle with the evap line leaking. they run side-by-side along the underbody and have a "weak spot" right over the drivers/rear side where the two lines bundle together and hold moisture. line(s) rust and leak.......fixed mine a few years back on my 2006 HHR with new high pressure lines from Chevy. PITA job but well worth it.
