Problems:

Oil leaks
Oil leaks are common in older V8 engines due to worn gaskets, seals, and valve covers.
Overheating
This can be caused by a failing water pump, clogged radiator, or malfunctioning thermostat.
Ignition system issues
Problems with the ignition system such as faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributor caps can affect performance.
Timing chain/belt failure
With age, the timing chain or belt can wear out or break, leading to significant engine damage.
Intake manifold gasket failure
V8 engines often suffer from intake manifold gasket leaks which can lead to coolant or oil leaks and vacuum leaks.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or failing fuel injectors can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and rough idle.
Crankshaft or camshaft sensor failure
These sensors are critical for engine timing; failure can result in stalling or no-start conditions.
Exhaust manifold cracks
Over time, the exhaust manifold can crack due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, leading to exhaust leaks.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum lines and connections can become brittle and crack, causing rough idle and poor performance.
Engine mounts wear
Worn engine mounts can cause excessive vibration and noise.

Problems:

Oil leaks
The Northstar V8 engines, often used by Cadillac, are known for oil leaks, particularly from the oil pan and valve covers.
Overheating
These engines can suffer from overheating issues, often due to head gasket failure or coolant system problems.

Carbon build-up
Excessive carbon build-up can occur in the combustion chambers and intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.
Timing chain wear
Wear and stretching of the timing chain can occur, leading to poor engine timing and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
The intake manifold gaskets can fail, leading to coolant and vacuum leaks.
Ignition system issues
Problems with the distributor, ignition coils, or spark plugs can cause misfires and rough running.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
