Most common problems as warranty expires

My warrant expires soon, and I would like to know some of the most common problems that should be inspected. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I know a lot of people has experience differential leak, especially on the AWD, but is it also as common on the RWD? And can I pretty easily inspect it myself? I haven't noticed any spill, but in case it's just sweating.

Need some advices for sanding a porch floor

I have sanded the floor with proper equipment, but there is still some spots with solid deck stain under the railings. The space between the deck and railing is about 3-4cm and pretty tight to access with any machines. I have tried sanding some of it by hand (60 grit, both paper and sponge), but it takes forever and is very tiresome.

Are there any equipment that could help me out here. I was able to loan a Makita angle grinder with a sanding disc, but the disc wasn't wide enough. I already have Ryobi batteries, but hasn't really found a proper tool for it. Any suggestions for sanding hard to reach places?

Need advice on protoboard design tool

I have experience with microcontrollers and soldering, but I'm completely new with PCB designs so please bare with me.

I would like to start with simple prototyping PCBs first. Is there a simple and free tool (online if possible) where I can design my prototyping PCB to see how large board I need? I know I could use a piece of grid paper, but I would prefer to do it digitally.

I know there are more advanced PCB design software, but I think I only need a tool where I can add connections between the holes, and mark where I wanna place components.
