A common failure point. Over time, the cap’s seal degrades and can lead to power steering leaks. Additionally, the reservoir itself can split and cause unsteady power steering performance, creating a serious safety hazard.

Over time, the air ducting can bend and crack, causing the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor to meter air inconsistently, which can lead to throttle response and performance issues. It can also allow dirty air and debris to enter the engine.

Over time, the oil filter housing can begin leaking oil, which may lead to premature engine wear. Additionally, leaking oil can drip onto the serpentine belt, causing it to slip off the pulley while driving—potentially resulting in catastrophic engine damage.
