Slow leak due to a crack in the plastic water pump. Water pump was replaced under warranty. Reverse camera display would flicker and turn off. Bad optical cable connector in the trunk. Connector was replaced. Clutch pedal creaks in hot weather. Clutch pedal was lubricated. It had little effect on fixing the problem.
