if check engine light comes on, it's usually something.. why not go over to autozone or advanced autoparts and have them check it out for free??

A 1456 is an evap leak on the tank side.
A 1457 is an evap leak on the canister side.
The only thing that seperates these two systems is the two-way valve.
The two-way valve can set both codes though.
Most common cause I think is overfilling the fuel tank and saturating the two-way valve, bypass solenoid and maybe the charcoal canister in an extreme case.
