I see others already posting about fluid changes, so I'll add just
what I've found with my older car.  Rust.  Not just regular body rust,
but on the suspension.  Last year changing the oil I had noticed I
came out from under the car, extra dirty.  It seems that the left side
of the car's underside, is flaking from rust.  The car is usually
parked on the street, and the left side gets beaten up with salt and
snow plowing.

So I check for suspected rust spots and treat as needed.  

Good luck,
