Question please help me locate charcoal canister

Hi,
I have a 1998 4runner with the 3.6 liter. The check engine light is on and I have narrowed it down to be one of the following problems:
1)EVAP canister or hose cracked - not connected
2)Purge or vent solenoid defective
3)Vacuum leak at engine

I tried to check the cannister... but can't locate it for the life of me. Can anyone help me out? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It is behind the fuse box which is behind the battery. It is a large box with two domes on top and hoses.

If you havent already, check to make sure your gas cap is on as well. That will throw the same code.
