Have DTC 16826 - EVAP Emission control Sytems: Small leak. Could this be from the hose assembly
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/68919/oil_leak_005.jpg"></center><p>that my oil leaked on? Most people in archives with this code found it to be their exhaust hitting the EVAP line near the spare tire, but my exhaust is far from it. Im thinking its that assembly, under my Ypipe, that needs to be replaced. Does this involve the evap system? No? TIA

No. It could make a large vacuum leak that would disable your evap system
and set a code p0455, but a p0442,p0446 is extremely unlikely.
There is a hose that commonly leaks under the car by the spare tire well. STFA- there are a few documented cases of this and maybe even pics.
