INSPECT FOR LEAKS AND ADVISE (ENGINE OIL?)
CLEAN AS BEST POSSIBLE AND INSPECT THE SOURCE OF LEAK(S) AND ADVISE. Perform fluid leak inspection I inspected the vehicle and confirmed a customer's concern, that there is a engine oil leak present. Inspections found that the oil drain plug gasket was leaking. I removed the drain plug and replace the gasket. Ran the vehicle in the bay and found no further engine oil leaks at this time period There is also a leak about halfway down in the washer fluid reservoir where the neck meets the reservoir. It is cracked there and leaking.

PERFORM NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND ADVISE:
FOUND: I inspected the vehicle and verified the client's concern that the check engine light is illuminated and there is no significant drivability issue present. I retrieved diagnostic trouble codes p0331 and p0447. Code p0331 indicates there is a circuit fault with the bank 2 knock sensor. The knock sensor is located below the lower plenum. Removal of the intake manifold for further inspection and repair will be required. I suspect there is damage from varmints to the harness. Code p0447 indicates there's a fault with a canister vent control valve. There is a section of the harness that is missing due to damage from varmints. Recommend removing the lower intake manifold to access the knock sensor harness for further inspection and repair. Recommend removing necessary interior vehicle components (drivers seat) in order to access the pass-through wiring harness to the vent control solenoid, performing necessary repairs to the harness and reinstalling the components.
REMOVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR ACCESS TO THE KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT – Remove & Replace – V6 Right or Left – [Includes: R&I Intake Manifold.]
REPAIR THE KNOW SENSOR WIRING HARNESS AS REQUIRED.
REMOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT FOR ACCESS, REPAIR THE DAMAGE WIRING UNDER THE CARPET TO THE EVAP CIRCUIT AND RECHECK THE SYSTEM OPERATION.
