    make a YouTube video, walking around, underneath, inside the cap and under the hood, while the engine is running.

    then, we can tell you what it may need...

    Brake fluid flush, change oil in Transmission (MT), Tcase, front and rear differentials. Replace vacuum hoses with thick wall silicone hoses.
    Buy the kit online from Silicone intakes.com

    yes the pink stuff is what toyota recommends. I think that should be it. Check your trans fluid too. Same with differential. Plugs would be what the owners manual recommends. I'd go with the longer lasting iridium ones just so you won't have to change them as often
