Another MIL Problem, right after I fixed the first one!!!

OK, so for the past 15,000miles, I had the check engine light on, and every time I checked it, it noted bad front O2 sensor, left bank. I recently changed both left and right front o2 sensors because I figured it was time (135,000miles).
I reset the MIL light, and low and behold, not even 600 miles later, the MIL light comes on, and this time, it shows 0903 and 0705, which is Evap Canister Vent Control and Evap Control System respectively (according to the VBx site).
Does anyone know what's the cause of this (ok, no stupid answers like it's the Evap System...) and what I need to do (or replace) to fix it? Thanks. Also, are there any adverse effects to driving with a non-funcitonal Evap Control system besides not passing smog in California (I'll just have to reset the light again before I smog as usual...)

My evap canister 'seized' at around 34k. I forget exactly what it's purpose is. Have you checked the MIL Diagnostic sticky? The EVAP canister is located near the rear drivers' side wheel.
