What is the name of the 2 hoses(2 90° angle hoses) that come out from the emissions canister? Are there any other hoses that i should pay attention to when looking for evap (large + small) leaks?

Also, i have a mysterious hose that sits directly to the right of the power steering fluid canister. It has a white tip and looks as if its open.

I have pictures of hoses, and yes i changed my gas cap D:

I appreciate any help,
thank you very much

Code popped up on my Dodge Dakota Crew Cab, checked the forum and got eye’s on all the lines and connections with no leak in sight. I made the appointment for a smoke test at the dealer but the morning before the test I parked the truck with the wheels turned more than normal to the right. When I came out in the morning, I was able to see two sets of wires just behind the rear of the driver side tire. One sets was ripped from its connection Re – connected the wires and the light went away. I also used zip ties so the wires would not have room to come in contact with any road roughage that might get kicked up again.

Following you guys leads, I looked under the truck.About 3 feet in front of the gas tank. Under the drivers seat. I found a hose disconnected. I connected the hose. I'll take it for a ride and see if the check engine light clears.

As for the water on the passenger floor board it is more than
likely from the A/C drain. The foam gasket deteriorates over
time and the water travels on the drain house back thru the fire
wall. I removed the metal cover covering A/C Dani house and
applied RTV around house. This fixed the problem. Yet one
more design flaw from Dodge. I too have the P0442 code and
am trying to locate the culprit. Thanks for all the good leads. I
will spend some time on this and let y'all know what I found.
