This car needs constant checks and maintenance to remain reliable, Lucas will save it.

Actually these Saturns were made in the U.S. Which engine do you have? I'm beginning to see weird problems with Saturn engines which is odd to me since I have known people who have driven these cars forever without problems. The valve cover "gasket" is a problem with Saturns as it is not a real gasket. It is, instead, a sprayed-on silicone seal. This was a cost-saving measure at the factory, but it only lasts about 100,000 miles.
Unfortunately, many automakers are doing this now, I know even the Mercedes C240 has sprayed-on valve cover "gaskets."
