Since you are a frequent here, you know about the leaking head gasket. Some leak more, some leak less.
The interesting thing is that these leaks were not so quickly noticed while the cars were under warranty even though I saw them on just about every car early on.
Now, when they can make more money on the repair, they get noticed all the time.
I only push for the head bolt replacement and retorque of gasket on the 01 and older and then it is up to the customer how badly they want to have the oil leak fixed.
Installing the latest PCV fix will reduce the leaking some but on the really bad ones, it can't make wonders but only do so much.
The other things are just regular upsell to cover the free inspection as long as you have had the coolant changed every 2 years roughly or 30K miles, you are fine.
