Not really bad, but the car might run a little sluggish until you get it fixed. Its just like it says though. You have a leak in the Evap system. Just FYI all SES lights are emissons related and wont harm the car unless its a misfire code. That can potential harm the converter or even the engine if the misfire is really bad.
