This is common when the PCV needs servicing.

Thank you, I have got rid of many cars because of the rust and rot. I’m also an auto body guy and I’m so disappointed with what Detroit is putting out today 50k pickup truck rusts in 3 yrs. I love my muscle cars, but in past 7 years Volvo’s have been growing on me I would not drive anything else in the winter and as a daily driver

I'm old enough to recall when one had to buy Japanese cars to get them characteristics.

We has a 1972 Datsun 1200 in mustard yellow which you could hear rusting in the driveway

ONE day the shock towers broke off and the struts went into the hood giving it a Mae West look. Dad drove it to work explaining that it wasn’t the Space Shuttle And as long as the hood stayed latched it would work.
