Thanks JFP..!

Do you think that the "Faulty EVAP canister purge valve" it is included on the hose #2 showing on the picture?

No, it is on the other end of #6.

JFP,
Do you know if the canister purge valve is located by the fuel tank or by the engine compartment?
Thanks again!

It is under the intake manifold.

JFP, thanks for the heads up

Two or three weeks ago I was chasing an electrical issue and removed the throttle body with the IPD plennum to have access to the starter motor.

There is a possibility that I pulled too much the hose that connects to the bottom of the plennum,
if this is the same hose that connects to the Purge Valve, perhaps this could be the problem that is causing the leak on the purge valve and triggering the CEL...

Tomorrow after work I will remove the plennum to check for tight connections on the hoses.

Is there a way to check the proper operation of the Purge Valve..?

Thanks again!

Regards
