Am surprised that you didn't mention the main oil leak problem on these Hyundai. 90% of leaks on these vehicle are the oil pressure switch, which is located under the intake manifold. When this switch is bad ,the oil will run down between the engine and transmission bell housing. This will appears as if it's the rear main seal. Just helping others to save some money. And yes, you have to remove the upper intake manifold in order to replace that oil pressure sending unit(oil pressure switch).
I am experiencing this problem right now with my vehicle. I am being told it's the rear main seal. Oil is pouring out of the vehicle. Is it the oil pressure switch or rear main seal?
@@tashiamax3049 Same. Seems to me the Oil Pressure Switch would be the easiest and cheapest to DIY. I’m going to try that first today, and if that solves the problem I’ll update you.
I tried taking a shot of vodka every time he said 'guys' and my wife had to call an ambulance 5 seconds in. Otherwise a very nice and informative video.
2013 Santa Fe Turbo 2.0 and my mechanic said oil leak coming from rear of cylinder head gasket. Big money to fix. Cabin smells like burnt oil when heater is running. Any other fix worth doing besides replacing gasket?
Any tip for a 2007 Santa fe there is oil all over in front of the seprtine belt area? One Garage was saying there is a crack but not sure how they came up with that? It is for my brother in laws SUV.
I'm sure your brother in law already found his answer, BUT just in case. The 2007 to 2009 are notorious for developing a leak in the area you have mentioned. It is a design flaw right at the corner of valve cover and timing cover meet, right above the alternator and serpentine belt, as you have mentioned. There have been several recalls on this. There's a recall again right now. Hyundai doesn't seem to fix the problem with the recalls. This problem is fixed with a good cleaning of the affected areas and heavy duty RTV and then letting it properly cure overnight. There are bulletins put out by Hyundai about this particular problem. Google "valve cover problem oil leak" for this model for the bulletin. I know it's been 8 months since your post, but just in case the problem is still there, this is how you fix it. Hope this helps.
