Oil Leaks:
Can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and rear main seals, especially with higher mileage.
Idling Issues:
Can be caused by vacuum leaks, dirty idle air control (IAC) valve, or faulty oxygen sensors.
AWD System Wear:
Wear in CV joints, driveshaft U-joints, and differential mounts can lead to clunks or vibrations, especially during acceleration or turns.
