Problems:

Oil leaks
Older Alfa Romeo Spider models, especially from the late 1980s, are prone to oil leaks due to aging gaskets and seals.
Overheating
The cooling systems in these cars can be less efficient over time, leading to potential overheating issues, particularly in warmer climates.
Fuel injection problems
The fuel injection system, specifically the Bosch L-Jetronic system used in the 1989 Spider, can sometimes suffer from component failures or require calibration.
Electrical issues
Wiring and electrical connectors can degrade over time, leading to intermittent electrical problems, including starting issues and malfunctioning gauges.
Rust
Though not an engine problem per se, rust can affect engine mounts and other components, leading to mechanical issues.
Valve train wear
High mileage engines might experience wear in the valve train, leading to reduced performance and possible engine noise.
