    Spark plugs and intake gaskets if they have never been done.

    2004 still used the black plastic intake gaskets and they tend to fail around 100k miles, but you also have 11+ years on them if original and thats a cause of concern too.

    Factory Iridium plugs are only made to last 70-100k in most cases, I think 100k is a tad far.

    It's good that they arent leaking out the outside, but it's hard to say if the factory dexcool coolant has ate any of the inside of the gasket material yet.

    41-101 spark plugs are the ones to buy, AC Delco Iridiums aka factory plug and best for these cars.
