So I go today to take my 95 escort gt to get smogged, everything
passes except for this new evap test in CA. I guess im leaking vapor
fuel somewhere between the gas tank and canister. Was hoping someone
could give me a ballpark estimate to fix this?

Somewhere between $1 and the value of the car.

It can be as simple as a broken hose or more complex.  Unfortunately
someone would need to diagnose the problem to tell you anything more
accurate.

I would start with a new or at least clean the rubber seal on the gas cap.
