Default P0455 / Large leak. Help?!

Good Evening, all:

The car: '99.5 A4 2.8 quattro.

The code:
Address 01 -
Controller: 4D0 907 551 AH
Component: 2.8L V6/5V MOTR HS D04
Coding: 06201
Shop #: WSC 06335
1 Fault Found:
16839 - EVAP System: Large Leak Detected
P0455 - 35-00 - -
Readiness: 0000 0000

The problem: Where do I begin troubleshooting this? Is there a "most common culprit" on this chassis/engine?

Thanks!

Honestly, the gas cap is the most common for a large leak.

Perform a visual inspection of your EVAP system, look for torn hoses or even a crack in your gas tank.

Run the LDP and listen for leaks. Your EVAP purge valve might even be stuck open. Just start and diagnose systematically.
