Pcv Valve Failure:
Faulty Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve can lead to rough idling, oil leaks, and increased oil consumption.
Timing Chain Tensioner:
While chain-driven, early versions of some tensioner designs have been noted to fail, causing rattling noises and potential timing issues.
Water Pump Leaks:
Plastic water pumps can develop leaks over time.
Thermostat Housing Leaks:
Plastic thermostat housings can crack and leak coolant.
