car leaks gas

Ok, so out of the blue, my car started leaking gas out of the front passanger side, out of some emissions canister that is suppose to (my guess) let vapors out. there's a hose that goes straight down, and it comes out of there.

if i could figure out how to get the video to load on my computer i'd show it..

after i was stumped by it i took it to a shop, they disconnected a plug that said "purge" after that i drove it home and for the next month without issues, then one day leaving a store it acted the same way again, i pulled over and sure enough, almost all my gas spilled out.

has anyone had this happen before? i'm about ready to scrap my car and use the money to fix my other one.
