Purge valve and vacuum leak?

What is your question?

My check engine light recently came on and I took it to AutoZone for them to run the codes and it came up that I had a vacuum leak. Upon trying to igure out what the was I asked a neighbor for help and he seems to think its the Vapor Canister Purge Valve. Well thats what google told me it was called when I searched for the number on it. Could this be true? could the purge valve be responsible for creating the error code for a vacuum leak in the computer system? Any help would be appreciated. BTW it is the Classic model. It is not stalling out or anything wierd just light was off one night the next morning when I started it it was on and hasnt went off.

yes that could be true but gas cap could also cause your problem, after replacing cap clear codes and try and see if problem is gone

How do I clear the codes? Gas cap was replaced last June when it failed emmissions test. and then again in October when I got mad at the one I previously bought not locking right or unlocking for that matter.
