|
|
Pcv System:
|
Clogged Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system can lead to vacuum leaks, rough idle, and potential oil seal failures.
|
|
Vacuum Leaks:
|
Aging vacuum hoses and intake manifold gaskets are prone to cracking and causing vacuum leaks, affecting engine performance and drivability.
|
|
Thermostat:
|
Faulty thermostat can lead to overheating or underheating issues.
|
|
Oil Leaks:
|
Valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets are common sources of oil leaks.
