....Who was kind enough to use his OBD2 code reader and tell me that the check engine leak was just an exhaust leak....mostly likely the seal failing on my old gas cap.

Hopefully that will be it. Anyways...Oppo is awesome!

Thanks man!

I present to you a pair of Mazda MX 6's.

Supposedly many aftermarket gas caps aren't that great with the seals, so stick with the OEM cap. Glad the problem wasn't too big, and yay for a friend on oppo!

He's got an OEM Cap, rubber seal is cracking. should be a $30 replacement.

I meant replace it with another OEM cap :)

Yeah I kind of figured it was the original 15-yo cap on there now haha

Lol no. His car is a cavalier.

It's almost never the gas cap unless they left it loose. Grease up the seal and run the evap system test.

The lip of the filler neck was also rusty. I got the same code with a relative's Corolla, and sanding the rust off the lip fixed the issue.
