Leaky rocker cover gaskets are easily replaced after you remove the inlet manifold, which requires gasket set to put backHigh-pressure fuel lines across rear of engine harden and split and can set car on fire. Hydraulic brake booster can leak. Brake rotors require replacement after every second pad change. Check all hoses and plastic parts including washer bottle.
