If you have a job 2 motor (oil filler neck is on the passenger side) than it's more the likely the infamous PVC elbow by the throttle body. You can buy a new tube with both elbows from the dealer for about $26. I'm on my phone or I'd post a picture for you but do a quick search of the PVC eblow and you'll see it. If you have a job 1 motor then it's usually the intake manifold gasket. There are other small things that can cause this code but these are the main culprits.

Check your fuel cap seal. Also the EVAP cannister and hoses.
