To locate the purge valve in your 2001 Subaru Forester, check in the engine compartment, located behind the intake manifold. The purge valve is a small rectangle with hoses attached to it, which is essential to examine when diagnosing an EVAP system leak. If you are searching for the purge canister itself, it's not close to the purge valve. Look towards the back of the Forester, below the body behind the passenger’s side wheel. The canister should be visible without raising the vehicle, but you may need to jack it up and secure it on jack stands for maintenance.
