To locate the source of the oil leak, inspect the engine, gaskets, and seals for signs of leakage.

Replace damaged or worn-out gaskets, seals, or O-rings causing the leaks.

Check the oil level regularly and top up as needed with the recommended oil type and viscosity.

Monitor oil pressure using a gauge and address any pressure fluctuations promptly to prevent engine damage.

Recommendation: The engine maintenance section in the manual provides detailed instructions on diagnosing and repairing oil leaks.

Check the spark plugs, ignition coils, and ignition cables for signs of wear or damage. If any faulty components are found, replace them.

Inspect the fuel injectors and throttle body for clogs or malfunctions that may disrupt fuel delivery.

It is essential to keep the air filter clean or replace it regularly so the engine will receive the proper air.

The first step in this process is to run a diagnostic scan on the vehicle to determine whether there are any error codes related to engine misfires and address them accordingly.

The manual suggests consulting the engine troubleshooting section for guidance on diagnosing and resolving engine misfires.

Replace your timing belt or chain at the manufacturer's recommended intervals, typically every 60,000 to 100,000 miles.

It is important to inspect the timing belt and chain for signs of wear, such as cracks, fraying, or slack, and replace them if necessary.

Keep the engine properly tuned to prevent sudden speed changes that could stress the timing components.

Regularly check the timing marks to ensure proper alignment of the camshaft and crankshaft.

For instructions on proper maintenance and replacement, refer to the manual's timing belt or chain replacement section.

A multimeter should be used to test battery voltage to ensure it is within the recommended range (about 12.6 volts when fully charged).

It is important to inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and loose connections. Clean and tighten as necessary.

Check the alternator output using a voltmeter to verify the proper charging voltage (typically around 13.8 to 14.2 volts).

If the battery or alternator is faulty, replace them with high-quality, compatible components.

The manual suggests consulting the electrical system troubleshooting section to diagnose and repair battery and charging system issues.

Inspect the shock absorbers, struts, and bushings for signs of leakage, wear, or damage.

Replace any suspension components that are worn out or damaged with high-quality replacements.

Check the suspension alignment and adjust if necessary for proper handling.

Perform a road test to evaluate the effectiveness of the suspension repairs and adjustments.

Suggestion: Refer to the suspension system maintenance section in the manual for instructions on inspecting, repairing, and adjusting suspension components.

Check transmission fluid level. Transmission fluid can be dirty or low.

Inspect the clutch system for proper adjustment and wear. Adjust or replace the clutch components as needed.

Check the linkage and shift cables for binding, damage, or misalignment. Repair or replace as necessary.

If the issue persists, a qualified mechanic inspects the transmission for internal wear or damage.

Advice from the manual: The transmission troubleshooting section guides diagnosing and resolving manual transmission shift problems.
