Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / September 2008Slight Trannie fluid drip
Open Question -- I have a 2000 Sonata GLS V6 auto. It has developed a vwey slight drip leak of trannie fluid. Are there any easy fixes for that or does it most likely require removing the trannie for a seal replacement? In that case does the drive train warranty cover it. I am the original owner and the car has 69,000 miles Charles Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- Where is it leaking? If its at the drain plug (and you've had it off lately) the washer could need replacing. Mine did that after the 3rd tranny drain and fill. New washer was all it needed.

Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- Could be an axle seal-- they'll sometimes run the fluid down to the botto of the bell housing. Otherwise, it's probably the front seal as yo surmise. Either way, it should be covered under the 10 year/100 warranty. Also be on the lookout for leakage where the cooler tubes bolt onto th radiator. This is a popular area for transmission fluid leaks for Sonata of your vintage. It's not covered under the powertrain warranty, and I'v seen several cars mix coolant and transmission fluid. If you develop thi problem, replace the radiator immediately - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm |
