The water pump seal can degrade over time, leading to coolant leaks. This can cause overheating if not addressed promptly. Estimated repair cost: $600 - $1,000.

Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) System Leaks

Leaks in the EVAP system, often due to cracked hoses or a faulty vent solenoid, can trigger check engine lights. These issues do not typically affect drivability but must be repaired for emissions compliance. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $500.
