This is off the top of my head. Rotors, tires, pads (they will crystalize), fuel filter, air filter, MICE, spiders, small gremlins

It'* not BAD, it'* only bad. There'* a couple different methods to fix it.

Method A, easy fix
Drive and use the brakes alot. That'll clean it right off.

Method B, work
jack it up, take it all apart. Bring rotors in to be turned..oh darn too thin..buy new rotors and pads..install.

Check all the gasket'* for the oil pan, transmission pan, water pump, and the upper end gaskets (heads to block, heads to intake mani, etc...).
