The A20A1 engine, like many older engines, is prone to oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and camshaft seals.
Overheating
Due to the age of the vehicle, the cooling system components such as the radiator, thermostat, and water pump may become less effective, leading to potential overheating issues.
