Unhappy Engine check! help!

I was driving and then the engine light went on =/
i took it to autozone so they could tell me what the problem could be and they said it was one of the following options:
1) EVAP canister broke: hose cracked or not connected.
2) purge or vent solenoid defective
3) vacuum leak at engine.

fyi, i just got the car and im still learning many things about it. It would be the really great if you guys could help me out. How can i find where these parts are in the engine, and how could i find out what is the problem right away?

thank you so much for even bothering to read about this!

there are tons of parts in the vacuum sys that are known to fail over time. look over all of it, it is usually easy to see whats broken.

there is only one code that was pulled up which was the p0455. I hate when i see lights on my odometer, it pisses me off. Im willing to do whatever to fix this on my own.

does anyone know if theres like a video or something where it shows how to find the EVAP system or where to locate the other stuff. I went to autozone again and this time they said it has to be these problems:

1)Faulty vent solenoid
2) faulty purge control solenoid
3) faulty fuel tank pressure sensor
