trouble shooting a small or large leak is simple & can be cost free to check
The fuel cap, just turn it upside down & study the seal for tears or ripples, hopefully it is a Mopar Cap, because the Mopar Spring inside the cap is better than after market.
Next is the PURGE VALVE, it is located up in the engine compartment, 3rd Gen & early 4th Gen Purge Valve is almost under the battery.
Otherwise 4th Gen is almost under the Throttle Body.
When checking the Purge Valve, wipe it off & attempt to blow air through it, if air will go through, the Purge Valve needs to be replaced.
So far it only cost you time to trouble shoot.
If the ESIM is bad or good, i don't know if there is any way to check it, unless the seal is torn or somehow out of place.
You will not know until a new one is purchased.
If the Hoses are cracked or torn, you can check the hose right at the ends with a visual check, otherwise the Smoke Test is an alternative.
Where hose travels from the ESIM on the Charcoal Cannister & up to the Purge Valve, look at places where the hose is close to a proximity of heat
