Subject:85 Westfalia Weekender fails Evap test.

I could go on and on about CARB and why they are the bane of my existence..
But I also like my air quality..

Anyway, took the Vanagon to the SMOG shop. They were nice enough to pretest
without charging me.

Failed on the EVAP test, this is where they pressurize the fuel system and
test for leaks. Any common places where I should look first before going
from nose to stern looking for it?

Also failed on the emissions. Previous owner stated that they replaced the
catalytic converter. I've done all of the vacuum hoses that I could find.
Complete ignition tune up and timing. I've also got an air-flow meter
ordered as the one on the bus has been "compromised" (opened up).

Anything else I should play with?
